ECW Podcast: Battling for the Bluegrass
The anniversary of the battle of Perryville was this week (October 8)—and we have a podcast about it!
ECW Chief Historian Cecily Nelson Zander and former Chief Historian Chris Kolakowski join host Chris Mackowski for a conversation about the 1862 battle. Kolakowski is the author of The Civil War at Perryville: Battling for the Bluegrass and a former site manager of the Perryville battlefield. Zander loves/hates Confederate general Braxton Bragg.

I will admit I do not always listen to the podcasts but this one was the most informative and fascinating discussion. The mixture of political background and battlefield review has wetted my appetite for a second visit and a wish to increase my library to include Perryville. A suggested reading list would be much appreciated
Great discussion as all ways guys
