Brownlow's Battle in the Buff

[Luke Freet]

I remember a few months ago, Have History Will Travel, one of those few decent Civil War Youtubers, released a short video describing a small scale engagement at Cochran's Ford by Col. Brownlow of the 1st Tennessee Union Cavalry during the Atlanta Campaign, in which his men stripped down naked to cross the Chattahoochee River and engage rebel pickets.
