In April 1859, a group of Italian guerrillas known as the "Hunters of the Alps" united. Not under the King or his French allies but they fought for a legendary figure, Garibaldi himself. And as Austria invaded, these soldiers made their mark in the high Alps becoming a feared guerrilla force that would become legendary in the fight for Italian unification.
