In this gripping episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, we journey into the shadows of history to uncover the stories of America’s forgotten war heroes—those whose courage and sacrifice changed the tide of battle but never made the headlines.
From a Civil War professor-turned-soldier who held the line at Gettysburg, to a Korean War officer who led one of the last bayonet charges in U.S. military history… from a Navy SEAL who gave his life to save his team, to a runaway slave who stole a Confederate ship and sailed it to freedom—these are the warriors history overlooked.
Told with cinematic narrative flair, this episode explores the lives of Joshua Chamberlain, Robert Smalls, Michael P. Murphy, Alvin C. York, David Hackworth, and Lewis Millett—men who didn’t seek glory but found it on the battlefield.
History remembers the generals. We remember the heroes.
Listen now and honor the legends lost in the footnotes.
