Hold My Horse
Prone to dressing in civilian clothes when not on duty, Civil War General Israel Richardson decides to teach a lesson to an arrogant young lieutenant tasked with delivering him a message. 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.
The story is drawn from a diary left by Daniel Crotty, a Civil War veteran. Set in the spring of 1862, the characters are real men even if some of their true names are no longer known.
