At the recent re-enactment at the Cedar Creek Battlefield in Middletown, Va., visitors got a chance to meet author Michael Zucchero, who wrote, "Loyal Hearts: Histories of American Civil War Canines." His book relates the history of regimental mascots, usually dogs who wandered into camp.
Northern Virginia Daily reporter Sally Voth talked to Zucchero.
