Description: Baxter McFarland, a veteran of the 11th Mississippi, wrote several articles on his unit’s history during the post war era. Even just several decades removed, he was concerned the 11th’s “heroic conduct nor its appalling losses have received the public recognition which long ago should have been recorded.” Follow the story of the 11th on July 3, 1863, in this compelling program.
