We host Chris Mowery of YouTube’s Vlogging Through History on Talk With History, discussing his path from history major to youth ministry, then pivoting during COVID to popular reaction videos and full-time content creation.
Chris shares how his genealogy background led to a 500-page book, Trumbull County Boys, focused on Company H of the 20th Ohio and his ancestor Sam Hughes, using extensive primary sources like letters, newspapers, journals, sketches, and National Archives records.
