On Episode 20 of "The Antietam And Beyond Podcast," Bob Kalasky, author of Shadows of Antietam , talks with co-host John Banks about his groundbreaking photographic work on the battlefield. (Co-host Tom McMillan is on vacation in Ireland.) Kalasky — “The Shadow King” — is a leader in a unique subset of Civil War buffs and historians: the photo nerd. Several times a year, the professional massage therapist makes a 3 1/2-hour drive from his home in Ohio to the Antietam battlefield in western Maryland to prove or disprove a photo theory. At Antietam, he has slept in his car, endured the landing nearby of a tornado and even watched in awe as three banks of fog moved around him and living historians. A supernatural force, perhaps? True story: After John purchased Kalasky’s book, family CFO Mrs. B spied “massage” on his credit card bill. She gave him the side eye for at least 24 hours.
