The American Zouaves were not only the most picturesque units on the Civil War battlefield, they were the Beau-ideal of a soldier. They were the first and last to shed blood for the Union. They were the most rowdy outfit in the Confederacy. Join myself and Tyler Millett as we discuss these ultimate warriors of the 19th century.
