Recorded: March 28, 2022 After a (too) long break from our US Civil War series, the War Nerd returns with a fresh episode on the final major campaign of the Western Theater in Tennessee, and the two generals who couldn't have been more different: Virginia-born Union Gen. George Thomas, and the "gallant" young Confederate Gen. John Bell "Sam" Hood.
