• The 154th New York, A Conversation with Mark Dunkelman

  On this episode I had the privilege of interviewing author, historian, artist and musician, Mark Dunkelman. We discuss the 154th New York Infantry Regiment, a unit that has been his life work with six books, dozens of articles, monuments and the famous Coster Avenue Mural at Gettysburg. We deep dive into all his many projects along with stories of Mark's ancestor in the regiment, as well as the story of Amos Humiston and his children. Mark is an amazing storyteller and I hope you will be fascinated to hear as I was!

• Regimental Chaplains and Living History, with Fr. Bryan Brooks

  On this episode of The Civil War Regiments Podcast, I'm joined by Father Bryan Brooks, a Roman Catholic Priest and a living historian. We discuss how he is able to juggle his ministry and hobbies, and we also dive into recent events we have both attended. Father Bryan also offers an in-depth look into the Regimental Chaplain during the Civil War and we highlight many personalities on both sides and accounts on the subject. I hope this episode helps to offer insights on the spiritual nourishment of soldiers in conflict.  Show Notes:  We Soon Got Proud, 1st Section and Liberty Rifles Event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBAxkTFzc8I  Regiments Mentioned: 1st Alabama (Union) Cavalry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Alabama_Cavalry_Regiment_(Union)  24th Missouri Infantry https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=UMO0024RI  34th Arkansas Infantry https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=CAR0034RI  2nd Colorado Infantry https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=UCO0002RI  31st Illinois Infantry https://civilwar.illinoisgenweb.org/civilwar/history/031.html  16th South Carolina Infantry https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=CSC0016RI01  Books: "Silent Cavalry, How Union Soldiers From Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta, and Then Got Written Out Of History," by Howell Raines https://www.amazon.com/Silent-Cavalry-Soldiers-Alabama-Atlanta-ebook/dp/B0BXKLFPH8 "True Blue: White Unionists In The Deep South," by Clayton Butler https://www.amazon.com/True-Blue-Reconstruction-Conflicting-Dimensions/dp/0807176621 "The Civil War Diary of Father James Sheeran," edited by Patrick Hayes https://www.amazon.com/Civil-Diary-James-Sheeran-C-Ss-R/dp/0813228824 "Faith In The Fight, Civil War Chaplains," https://www.amazon.com/Faith-Fight-John-W-Binsfield/dp/0811700178 "A Shield And Hiding Place, The Religious Life of Civil War Armies," by Gardiner Shattuck https://www.amazon.com/Shield-Hiding-Place-Religious-Armies/dp/0865542732 "Memoirs of Chaplain Life: 3 Years In The Irish Brigade with the Army of the Potomac," by Fr.
