On this episode of The Civil War Regiments Podcast, I'm joined by Tony Patton and Zach Brewer of the Friends of Resaca Battlefield, to discuss their works for the battlefield as well as the history of one of the largest battles fought in Georgia during the war. We recap the battle, discuss battlefield interpretation and preservation, highlight some of the regiments involved, the history of the Confederate Cemetery and the annual reenactment.
