Episode 413 - Chicago to Appomattox: Illinois' 39th Infantry in the Civil War with author Jason Baker

It started out as a search for info about his ancestors and turned into a book detailing one Illinois infantry’s involvement in the war that pit the United States of America against the Confederate States of America. This is my discussion with Jason B. Baker, author of Chicago to Appomattox: The 39th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War.
