Company D

Henry Harrison Shaw survived four Confederate bullets during the war. But when the guns fell silent, the Union veteran did something few could fathom—he went South. To Tarboro, North Carolina.
Once branded a Yankee invader, Shaw reinvented himself as a Southern gentleman. Yet his greatest legacy came not from battle, but from what he built in peace: selling his riverside land to former slaves who would found Princeville, the first incorporated Black town in the United States. The full episode drops on November 12.
