The 21st Mississippi Infantry marched into Gettysburg with the Army of Northern Virginia, but by the end of the battle many of its soldiers had been killed, wounded, or captured. In this episode, we walk the same ground they crossed, stopping at key locations to trace their attack and explore what these men experienced during one of the Civil War's most famous battles.
Along the way, we'll examine the regiment's movements, stand where critical moments unfolded, and share the personal stories of the officers and enlisted men who fought in the ranks of the 21st Mississippi. By combining battlefield exploration with firsthand accounts, we'll bring this regiment's story back to life where it happened.
