    September 1864: Wheeler's Raid

    We will learn the fate of Atlanta and follow General Wheeler's retreat out of Middle Tennessee and across the Tennessee River at the Shoals. We'll see how the Federals were mired in misinformation, surrounded by disparate rebel groups everywhere they looked, and how local people were impacted by these events. *correction: At minute mark 17:49 I stated incorrectly that Rowett's regiment was the 9th Illinois. In fact it was the 7th Illinois. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jordan-collier10/support
