Future Episode Ideas/Requests

I'm happy to see Pea Ridge making the podcast, because I think the Trans-Mississippi Theater is historically neglected in Civil War discussion. I'm biased because I'm sitting in Kansas as I type this, but there's a wealth of topics from that theater, or that heavily touch on that theater. A short list:

- Battle of Wilson's Creek

- Battle of Westport

- Burning of Lawrence, KS

- The Border War / Bleeding Kansas

- Guerrilla Warfare in general

- Notorious guerrillas in particular (Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, James Lane, Charles Jennison, Jesse James, etc.)

- John Brown, his origins, his raid, etc.

- Native Americans in the Civil War

- The New Mexico Campaign

- The Siege of Port Hudson

- Sterling Price's Missouri Expedition
