He was the classic "political general" who was supposed to fail—a 29-year-old college president and lay preacher with zero military experience. But James A. Garfield defied every stereotype. In just two years, he went from a raw colonel studying tactics by candlelight to one of the Union's most effective leaders. This episode charts his meteoric rise: from the icy victory at Middle Creek, won with a brilliant psychological ploy, to his daring journey commandeering a river steamer to feed his starving men. We'll uncover his role as the strategic "brains" of the brilliant Tullahoma Campaign and climax with his defining moment of raw courage—the legendary ride at Chickamauga. After the Union army was shattered and his commander fled the field, Garfield rode alone under a hail of bullets to find the last standing remnants of the army and coin the immortal nickname, "The Rock of Chickamauga"
