The Glorious Fate of Robert Gould Shaw (with Kevin Levin)

Best known because of the movie "Glory," Col. Robert Gould Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts had a far more complicated life than Hollywood suggested. A new biography, "A Glorious Fate" by Kevin Levin, looks at the nuances of Shaw's life and legacy. Levin joins the Emerging Civil War Podcast to talk about the widely recognized but little-known officer. The Emerging Civil War Podcast is hosted by Chris Mackowski.
