The Bullets Flew Like Hail with Author James McLean Jr
About this episode
Author James McLean Jr. dropped in for his first podcast appearance to talk about his latest Savas-Beatie release, "The Bullets Flew Like Hail": Cutler's Brigade at Gettysburg, from McPherson's Ridge to Culp's Hill. The first day of the battle has, for too long, been brushed over for various reasons, but it is still a brutal day of fighting with many of the units involved being nearly destroyed. July 1, 1863 is held in the top 20 of single-day battle casualties. Cutler's Brigade is one unit that had a hard slog in the fight and James' book is about just that.
