Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| | ...few people today, except perhaps those of you listening to this show, are aware that every state of the Confederacy also produced regiments of volunteers who remain loyal to the United States. One of these units was the First Alabama Cavalry. Who rode with Sherman's headquarters during the March to the Sea. Journalist Howell Raines, who is a descendant of Alabama Unionists, has employed his professional skills to uncover the remarkable story of this regiment, and the equally remarkable story of how their service was almost completely omitted from the historical record after the war. Now he's brought that story back to light in the new book, 'Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta–and Then Got Written Out of History.' We'll talk with Howell Raines tonight on Civil War Talk Radio." |
