Friend of the show and Editor in Chief of the Civil War Times, as well as Historynet.com, Dana Shoaf, is back in the studios to drop another Civil War story on Pat and Matt. Where last time we discussed Brigadier General Erastus Tyler and his career both during and after the war. This time the guys are getting down to the men in the ranks.

The same day as our National Tragedy unfolded on the plains of Manassas, a shooting occurred along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, not far from Frederick, MD. Was this a justified killing by Federal troops, or did alcohol and attitude impare the thoughts of both parties? Find out as the guys dive into the Killing of Samuel Calvin Lamar!
