So entertaining, so informative. My favorite podcast of all time. I hope there will be more. I especially appreciate that he presents the history without taking sides.

Well researched and professional quality. Worth subscribing. I get slightly annoyed at the host constant “uh” and “um” filler words but I think it’s subconscious and he probably doesn’t realize he’s doing it. Simple gripe, that’s all. Subscribe people!

Good subject matter with very detailed descriptions of Civil War battles in the west. I really enjoyed this podcast, and it’s professional presentation. Recommended.

This was great homeschool material for long car rides visiting civil war battlefields and museums. Thank you and God bless

For anyone interested in learning more about Civil War and important figures, this podcast is well researched, has depth and many first person accounts that take you right back to the times. I enjoy Christopher Moore’s style of telling the story and highly recommend this podcast.

Really well done. The stories are told in a wonderful manner and has some funny jokes at times.

Very much enjoyed the series on Red River Campaign. I grew up in southwest Louisiana and am familiar with the area. Sabine is pronounced suh-BEAN.

I’ve been a regular listener to a few other CW related podcasts and had yours saved for awhile but not listened to. Your Forrest episode was my first and instantly moved your series up to the front burner for me. I enjoy your segments and appreciate the 19th century contextualization. It is...Read full review »

Wonderful depiction of one of the Civil Wars greatest Generals! Fact check on Red River campaign: I lived in Louisiana a long time and was always told our nickname was the “Bayou State”… Not the “Pelican State”.

Love this podcast! The amount of detail in each podcast is amazing. I have learned more from listening than most history books I have read. Thank you for the details, odd facts and for taking the time to do the hard work of putting this all together.

This is one of the two BEST series I have ever listened to. (The Cold War by Bill Whittle is the other). It is extremely entertaining, informative and presented exceptionally well. I’m certain it requires an immense amount of research and work to produce each episode. My only criticism is the...Read full review »

Great but shows are far in between
john l. otto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
Reinterprets and glosses over the moral meaning of the civil war and the atrocities towards civilians and slaves.
EducateCA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/22
I decided to start listening to this podcast starting with the Nathan Bedford Forrest episodes (1-4). I figure if this starts out or becomes the typical one sided (either way) outlook, then I’m not wasting my time on it. Well…it didn’t! The podcast felt as if it stayed neutral all the time. ...Read full review »

I love this podcast: easy to listen to, thorough and interesting, and I enjoy his very subtle cultural references and quips. This show isn’t dry and boring. Keep up the good work!
Omne Ignotum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/22
Great podcast to get a better understanding of those who were involved in the Civil War. Very insightful.
Pittsburgh_Joe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/21
Easily my favorite ACW podcast and a must-listen in my opinion. I’m pretty well studied as an amateur CW historian and I always find new facts and stories in this podcast. It’s truly given me a lot of respect for certain people from the era that I could not stand at relative face value and had...Read full review »

I love the history of the CIVIL War I NEVER WAS INTERESTED IN IT UNTIL MY DAD TOOK ME ON A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELDS TRIP WE SAW GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD AND SHILO AND BLOODY PONDS NOW I LOVE THE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR
carolyn lappe05101966 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/21
This is an awesome podcast. He has covered the obvious subjects very well and is now starting that are not so well known. I can’t wait for each new episode.
idesofoct via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/21
Portraits of Blue & Grey is one of my absolute favorite podcasts, period. I am a civil war history buff and Christopher Moore paints a picture of the these men and their connected historical events with such detail and passion it rivals that of history’s most famous portrait painters. I am...Read full review »

Fantastic podcast. I’m a long distance truck driver an I was going through Lexington, VA area & was curious if he had a podcast on Thomas J Jackson. Scanned through & what ye know...a multi part on old Stonewall. Just listened to part 1. Very informative. Kudos fine sir.
Hubby daddy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
Excellent show. Very compelling. Smooth, entertaining voice and storytelling.
Pm590144 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/21
I have listened to all the episodes and have enjoyed everyone of them. Trying to find another of like quality while I’m waiting for more. Shows of this quality are hard to find.
AACo Rob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
As southerner and someone that enjoys learning about history I never know what I’m going to get out of thing’s like this but I feel it’s a very far take on both sides. I also would have never looked to hard into some northern Generals and people but because of this podcast I feel I have a far...Read full review »

I happened upon this podcast recently. My husband and I listen every time we do our morning walk. Episodes are educational, entertaining and fascinating! They are through and well done! Thank you so much for these podcasts

I’ve been a “buff” since a young boy. Read and studied everything I could throughout childhood and adolescence. Nearly all of my heroes come from the ranks of men who fought and died during the war. As a busy husband/father this podcast that I accidentally found has both taken me back to a long...Read full review »

Enjoying binging these stories, especially the Stonewall episodes. He was a brilliant tactician and was one of few CSA generals that understood what it would take to win strategically. Thoroughly consistent in his efforts (Peninsula campaign aside).was, unfortunately, ignored too often. Using...Read full review »

Thank you very much for such a wonderful and informative podcast. It’s a really great listen!! And one I can thoroughly recommend :)
Aussie_oy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/30/20
The best history podcast that I have found to date. Lots of good information delivered in an interesting and captivating way, giving good insight into the individuals, their life and the things they did. Keep up the good work!
Gesahero via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/20
Insightful. Well versed. Great voice. Finally finished all the episodes and was greatly entertained. Hard to believe this is free! Thanks!
Chonan330 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/20
Love the podcast. He does a great job of staying objective and giving the facts. Also makes it interesting. Surprisingly there are very few long form history podcasts out there. This is definitely one of the better ones.
Goooooodmaaaaaan Luke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/20
Love the information and detail I’m a life long civil war historian and this is definitely worth listening to . I have been listening to another popular podcast that also has good information but the host insists on wasting the first third of the time with needless personal information and can’t...Read full review »

I’ve only just discovered this podcast and I am already hooked. It offers an in-depth and understanding of some of the Civil War’s most notable figures. Very entertaining!
holmenator via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/01/20
Love this podcast as I traverse civil war territory as a trucker. Growing up in the west with horrible history teachers I never really got the civil war. Your podcast along with Shelby Foote and Ken Burns helped bring the civil war alive for me. The real life characters are so interesting. ...Read full review »

Well-researched, though infrequently-released. Runs a little long and find myself running it at 1.2x to get ththe episode runtime down to a reasonable length. Maybe cut the episode length down to 40 minutes and release more often? The earlier more-focused episodes did a great job of staying...Read full review »

Ol' Farmer Brown via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/20
Congrats on a great job. This podcast is, from my point of view as a fan of History in general and, more particularly, of the American Civil War, a top asset in my personal collection of CW podcast subscrptions. Well brought narrative and crystal-clear exposition of facts. And of course,...Read full review »

Loved the episode! Would love to hear more naval episodes.
K.D. Barnes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/20
Well done, very informative. One of my favorite podcasts. I hope they can come more often.
Eddie Brown Sr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/20
Not too long. Not too short. This is the goldilocks podcast for civil war enthusiasts. Listen then you will learn a great deal about some of the luminaries of that all important conflict delivered in a charming fashion by the author. Bravo!
V7i7c via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/20
Have listened to several episodes and have enjoyed it. Seems to be historically accurate and mostly without the typical annoying judging of historical figures thru today’s political prisms. That is refreshing.
OC Chicago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
Very well put together Podcast, but the gaps are to far between each episode.
cubssux05 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/19
And Lord of the Rings and Iliad references for good measure!
Dallaire's Disciple via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/19
A simple but well done extremely informative podcast. Can’t wait to hear more in 2020!
