Civil War Short Films • 8m 27s

Prone to dressing in civilian clothing, Union General Israel Richardson teaches a valuable lesson in civility to a young "waif of a lieutenant." Starring Christian Stolte (Chicago Fire, Public Enemies) and Patrick Webb, this light-hearted look at life between battles for Civil War soldiers is pulled directly from a veteran's account of the war.

If you liked the story, you can check out the veteran's book it came from here - https://amzn.to/46cpnUn

General Richardson is quite the historic character! The book of his life can be found here - https://amzn.to/479WI3v

Richardson started with the 2nd Michigan Infantry. There are two great accounts of that regiment. One is by an enlisted man, Harmon Camburn - https://amzn.to/479W85P
