March to Jackson and the light marching orders
A Civil War march narrative follows the Wisconsin Thirty with Osterhaus leading the assault toward Jackson. Heat, storms, and blunders mark the ill fated charge at Clinton and the retreat. Morley’s stubborn stance ends in relief of Lauman and a long trek back with costly losses and grim reflections on command.
