About this episode: In 1969 - 104 years after the fact - Canadian Robbie Robertson wrote a song for his group The Band. It was a first-person narrative relating economic and social distress for a poor white Southerner during the last year of the American Civil War. Robertson’s song was voiced by the band’s lone American, drummer and native Arkansan Levon Helm whose haunting rendition opened with, “Virgil Kane is the name And I served on the Danville train 'Till Stoneman's cavalry came And tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65 We were hungry, just barely alive By May the 10th, Richmond had fell It's a time I remember, oh so well The night they drove old Dixie down…” This is the story of that Federal incursion.

096 - Grant's Lieutenants
About this episode: In March of 1864, Ulysses S. Grant was promoted to military heights only attained by one other - George Washington. On the 2nd day of that month, the US Senate confirmed Grant’s promotion to Lieutenant General. On the 9th, President Abraham Lincoln officially commissioned him and the next day he was given official authority to take command of the Armies of the United States. Though in overall command of the mighty U.S. military machine, he had to have lieutenants who would execute his strategies. This episode is about five of them - one glorified Chief of Staff and four who served in the field. This is the story of five who administratively and militarily landed the blows that their commanding officer called for. These - biographical sketches of men who, by their deeds, assured Grant’s position in the pantheon of this country’s greatest warriors. This is the story of Grant’s Lieutenants. ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Henry Halleck Philip Sheridan George Henry Thomas George Gordon Meade William T.
