On this episode I'm joined by fellow history buff and living historian, Ryan Alcaino to enjoy an unscripted conversation on anything and everything related to regiments in the Civil War. We discuss reenactments, living history, favorite battlefields and books, movies, and regiments, as well as origin stories of how we got interested in American Civil War History and how the Civil War Regiments projects began.
