Description

In this jaw-dropping episode, we dive into the astonishing true story of Jacob Miller, a Union soldier whose Civil War experience reads like a Hollywood script—except every word is real.


Miller, a member of the 9th Indiana Infantry, was shot between the eyes at the Battle of Chickamauga and left for dead. But not only did he survive—he walked off the battlefield, tended to his own wounds, and lived with an open head injury for decades.
