Description

On June 27, 1864, Colonel Daniel McCook, Jr. led the Union assault up Cheatham Hill, where he was mortally wounded. This brave man was not the only McCook to fight for the Union army.  This 30 minute program will introduce the ‘Fighting McCooks,’ the story of 3 Ohio brothers and their 15 sons who joined the Union forces and fought throughout the Civil War.
