Tyler Brown presents today's Natchez History Minute about Matt B. Snyder, the officer in charge of the boat that landed Under-the-Hill to obtain ice for the Union gunboat Essex.  Snyder was wounded in the subsequent skirmish but went on to have a fascinating career as a stage and screen actor, ironically appearing in the first full length movie to be filmed in Mississippi.
