My good friend Roy Larsen of Norway talkcasts. Join in live discussions or just listen. Download and burn to CD past episodes which include Battle of New Madrid and Island #10 and the Life of Lt.Gen Nathan B. Forrest. Perhaps your ancestors served on the “other” side; in that case you may want to listen in on "The Story of 3rd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment" or "The Story of 89th Illinois Infantry." Because Roy allows burning his talkcasts to CD this is a great site for folks like me who have hearing loss. I highly recommend this site.
