I've been a bit of a civil war buff since I was a kid, grew up in MD surrounded by battlefields, but I never heard about that battle until this past summer when I picked up a Civil War special edition of US News. The whole magazine was heavily slanted towards the Union, but still learned some things I didn't know.
