"A House Divided" host Bjorn Skaptason is joined by historian Timothy B. Smith to discuss two of his books- "The Real Horse Soldiers" and "The Decision was Always My Own: Ulysses S. Grant and the Vicksburg Campaign". He examines Benjamin Grierson's well known thrust through the Mississippi and taps into the micro and the macrocosm of the Vicksburg Campaign. Smith sheds new light on Grant's decision making through previously unseen sources.
