  • Mercy Under Fire: The Angel of Marye’s Heights
    Jun 28 2025

    In December 1862, amidst one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles, a young Confederate sergeant named Richard Rowland Kirkland stepped beyond the protection of his lines to bring water and comfort to wounded Union soldiers. Known as the "Angel of Marye’s Heights," Kirkland’s remarkable act of compassion became a symbol of humanity amidst brutal conflict. In this episode, Chris Mowery takes you onto the frozen battlefield of Fredericksburg to meet the man behind the legend. Together, we’ll explore eyewitness accounts, separate historical fact from myth, and discuss why Kirkland’s story still resonates deeply today.
