Ep08: The Awful Hole Left by Gustavus Pratt

More than 700,000 soldiers died in the American Civil War. This episode follows how the death of a single soldier, Private Gustavus Pratt, altered the course of one family: the Pratts of Richmond, Maine.

It is the story of a grief-stricken father marching straight into disaster, a widow who slips into a life of lies and betrayal, and a younger brother’s brutal path toward redemption.
