Prone to dressing in civilian clothing, Union General Israel Richardson teaches a valuable lesson in civility to a young "waif of a lieutenant." Starring Christian Stolte (Chicago Fire, Public Enemies) and Patrick Webb, this light-hearted look at life between battles for Civil War soldiers is pulled directly from a veteran's account of the war.
