This Extended Special Edition of Stories of the Civil War chronicles the brutal and decisive Battle of Nashville in December 1864, which effectively ended the war in the West.

Join us as we explore the "Paralysis of Ice" that gripped Middle Tennessee and the desperate circumstances of the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General John Bell Hood, fresh from the catastrophic loss at Franklin.
Inside this episode:
  • The Telegram War: Discover how Major General George H. Thomas, the "Rock of Chickamauga," defied Ulysses S. Grant's relentless orders to attack, waiting for the ice to melt before launching his master plan.
  • The Battle for Honor: Hear the story of the United States Colored Troops (USCT), former slaves fighting on the soil where they were enslaved, who proved their valor at Granbury’s Lunette and Peach Orchard Hill, suffering the highest casualties of any regiment in the battle.
  • The Collapse: Witness the Union's "Grand Wheel" maneuver and the final, crushing assault on the Confederate left at Shy's Hill. The episode details the death of Colonel William M. Shy and the total disintegration of Hood's army.
  • The Retreat: Follow the heartbreaking, barefoot march of the shattered Confederate army south into the dead of winter, leaving bloody footprints in the snow.
This is the complete, visceral story of the death of one army and the vindication of another, told through diaries, letters, and the voices of the soldiers and civilians on the front lines.
