About this listen

Hello and welcome to Civil War Stories. I'm your host, Steve Matthews. Today we're going to explore one of the most extraordinary and bizarre incidents in Civil War history - a story that sounds too strange to be true but is documented by multiple eyewitnesses. So settle in as we journey to the Virginia Wilderness in May 1864, where one of the war's bloodiest battles was interrupted by something no military manual had ever prepared for: a bare-knuckle fistfight between enemy soldiers that brought two entire armies to a standstill.
