## Resource

George Crook was one of the Union Army’s most dependable battlefield commanders. From the mountains of western Virginia to the high stakes fighting in the Shenandoah Valley, he earned the trust of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan through steady, aggressive leadership. In this episode, we break down who Crook was, what he accomplished during the Civil War, and why his reputation never matched his impact.
