History
**Bourbon and Battles**

Where the refined American Spirit meets the grit of American battlefields. We’ll review a Bourbon for a few minutes before launching into a battle. I am a Veteran and history nerd that picked up a love for Bourbon. And yes my wife is on to me. This is just an excuse to spend more time talking military history and drinking with friends.

Show notes

A new century is here and things are changing in America. Immigrants pour in. Italian anarchists find themselves living in the same country as German Socialists. Catholics and Protestants work alongside each other in terrible conditions. Workers battle management. It will take a gifted leader to lead American into the 20th Century. But time marches on and when Europe descends into chaos, his children pick up his sword.
