Vol. XI, Episode 1

Chesley Mosman Digs In

Returning to the Waterloo Historical Museum grounds, the team explores what it was like to dig in as a Civil War soldier. A veteran's account from the war is used as a guide to the work. Chesley A. Mosman was in the 59th Illinois and he provides great details on what pickets were doing to entrench outside Chattanooga in 1863. Thank you to the Waterloo Area Historical Society for helping to make this episode possible.
