Zouave Pantaloons and Bersaglieri Plumes: Unique Uniforms of the War.

Send us a text

I sit with Author Douglas Miller to discuss his latest book, "The Greatest Escape: A True American Civil War Adventure." It tells the story of the largest prison breakout in U.S. history. It took place during the Civil War, when more than 1200 Yankee officers were jammed into Libby, a special prison considered escape-proof, in the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia. 109 men dug their way to freedom, but this was only the beginning.
