he had the the chattanooga law, the company. so they're really sort of forward thinking manufacturers and they always wanted that was denied sort of their southern ness. its otherness wasn't, something that they necessarily embraced, are encouraged. and you saw them constantly trying to downplay that. and looking at the minutes of the chamber of commerce. right. that they're always trying to appear more sort of civilized. they want to attract outside investment, always focused on outside. and so, you know, brock himself when i always talk to me, always said chattanooga is not in the south, which a lot of historians of the south at. right. but he was you know, he said, no, we were not southern. i don't i'm trying to figure out what he really meant by this. i, i think he meant that they didn't identify with sort of southern heritage. but i think important to note that many in chattanooga disagreed as brock's family had cross burned on their front yard by the kkk when brock's father fought to disagree gate chattanooga in the late 1

so chattanooga is appear at the top of the map and hustled down here at the bottom and through spring, 1854, johnston is delaying germans advanced on atlanta and yes, he gets through and he is withdrawing. could it have been part impressive and maybe try to start back occasionally, maybe. by the time the armies into the outskirts of atlanta, davis is patient run out and he will replace johnson with could immediately start to counterattack drive sherman away. johnson will claim that he was on the verge of attacking and maybe he was or maybe he's making that up, we don't know. but try to start before the enemy was ready to the city. it johnson will be relieved of all command and basically told that we will get back to you any goes into a semi retirement money will attend to his personal affairs and he will rejoin his wife and colombian south carolina and move into north carolina. he is out of the war for several months in the meantime things continue to go downhill in the western theater. of course the father is captured in the march to the sea and the capture of savannah and sherman's

so, johnson's new command and he takes his headquarters and chattanooga. in the winter of 1862, 63, he's gonna be coordinating the efforts of those two armies. and all the other military units. in this vast department, he's got a lot of challenges, from brexit in brag,, but seriously he's trying to coordinate these two armies which are defending union forces advancing on them. in tennessee, in mississippi, he's got a very rickety railroad network that isn't well connected. unlike in virginia, the railroads and alabama, mississippi, georgia, the lines aren't well maintained, not in good shape. they don't connect where you'd ideally want them to connect so supply routes and reinforcements need to go to various and efficient ways. we've got supply depots spread out from atlanta, georgia, alabama. it's a huge territory. it's a lot to cover a lot from one person corny. the army of tennessee has fought at the storm river. it was the winter 1862 1863. you probably know that there starts to be a really poisonous atmosphere in the command of the army of tennessee.

generals, john, pemberton and mississippi braxton bragg in chattanooga. they were good generals, but they were decidedly second cheer. albertsoni johnston was viewed as a first-year general. we really don't know how good or bad. he was grant beat him too quickly. and then he died at shiloh. but lee is obviously the best that confederacy has lee's stature and reputation are towering dominating. the his soldiers had very high morale. they really don't believe he can be defeated. they don't believe they can be defeated. this is going to be stand them in good stead and they are quite good and lee has put together quite a bit of a winning team one advantage that lee has had and putting together a winning team with the army of northern virginia. is that lean knows how to handle jefferson davis and when lee once an officer transferred out of my army, this guy's not getting the job done. davis will let him do it now lee. lee has to do it right lee has to use some tact and some finesse, but he knows how to do that and he can get it done and so lee has the team tha

johnson's new command takes up its headquarters in chattanooga. in the winter of 1862 to 1863, he's going to be coordinating the efforts of those two armies and all the other military units in this vast department. he has a lot of challenges. seriously, he's trying to coordinate these two armies which are defending union forces advancing on them in tennessee and in mississippi. he has a very rickety railroad network. it's not well connected, unlike in virginia. the railroads in alabama, mississippi, georgia, they are not well maintained, they are not in good shape. they don't connect where he would ideally want them to connect. supply routes and reinforcements have to go very inefficient ways. we have a supply details spread out from atlanta, columbus, mobile, selma, it's just a huge territory. it's a lot for one person to coordinate. the army of tennessee has fought at stones river in the winter of 1862 to 1863. you probably know that there starts to be a really poisonous atmosphere. that comes out of stones river. general in bragg's core command

sully and lucky, fraternity, going to university of chattanooga and both had an idea at some point the u.s. was going to get in the war and they wanted to be fighter pilots. so they applied to fly from the royal canadian air force. their applications were accepted, except they had to get it signed off by their parents because they were under 18. sully, an interesting guy, his father was wounded during world war i by a german attack and eventually dies after sully is born. so sully just has his mother. so lucky and sully go to sully's mom and sully's mom says if you feel like you need to do it i'll sign it. and she signs it. lucky says i'm in, we're going to canada and we will be fighter pilots. he goes back to his house and his mother says i don't like the idea and if your father signs i'm fine. and his father is called the colonel, betting on horses, and he takes one look and says you're an idiot, and he didn't sign it. and sully goes and goes to the royal canadian air force and they lose touch midway through lucky's tour in england and sully shows up in a spit fire and they rekindle

they were two guys in a fraternity going to the university of chattanooga and they had an idea the u.s. was going to get this war and they wanted to be fighter pilots, so they applied for the royal canadian air force. applications were accepted but they had to get it signed off because they were under 18. his father was wounded in world war i by an attack and eventually dies after solely is born.ke so he says if you feel like you need to do this i will sign it. lucky is like i am and we are going to be fighter pilots. he goes back and his mother says i don't like the idea but if your father signs it, it will be fine. solely goes to the royal canadian force and they lose touch until about midway through the tour in england and shows up in a spitfire they rekindle their friendship. he flies and mocks him for being a bus driver. they realize he's going to die if he doesn't land this thing fast. doing some research i found his diary at the university of chattanooga and they never read it so i was able to give lucky insight into his best friends and all the things they did leading up to it.

and then doing some research around sully, i found his diary at the university of chattanooga. they had it in their archives and lucky had never read it. so we were able to i was able to give lucky this sort of insight into his best friend and all the things that that sully did leading up to when he finally met up. i'm lucky again, and i'll leave you with this. lucky was the straight man, sully was the hellion. this guy's diary. he's always trying to find booze. they're always stealing something. and, i mean, he was great. and i actually found his his reports, too, from his commanders who would write about and they always talk about it was like a middling pilot who's decent and we're happy have him. but he's not great. but at the end of the day, it's an important piece because again, when you think about the book is trying to put a soul into this. this, this thing and try to put a humanity to the planes. i think sully and then lucky's relationship does that. it's it makes it look so good. it's the fact that it's not just i mean, i've read several books about it, but you literal
