In 1862, 23 Ohio soldiers, led by a Kentucky union spy, stole deep into the south with the intent of stealing a train and using it to destroy telegraph lines, railroad tracks and bridges and cripple the south. They ultimately got caught and nearly half of them hanged, but the survivors were given the very first Medals of Honor by a grateful US Congress. In this final part, we learn the fate of the men as they are captured, imprisoned and tried. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch More about the effort to get Shadrach and Wilson the Medal of Honor: Shadrach & Wilson - The Medal of Honor (shadrachandwilsonmoh.com) For an epilogue on this series, visit: https://www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries Learn more about your ad choices.
