North & South TV miniseries Battle of Gettysburg
Had to have been shot in late fall, since most of the trees have no leaves, and the ones that do are shades of yellow and orange. |

The Perryville scene in "Men Go To Battle" was somewhat…lacking. |

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Total BS, but got to admit it's very entertaining! Kim |

The second link is well worth the read. I especially like the point about portraying Union soldiers in the same light as our Vietnam veterans plays into the evil Union invaders myth. |

I'll second what Col. Durnford said. The second link is a very interesting read |

The initial battle scene in the Free State of Jones. When the sergeant is calling cadence "Hup, two, three, four" I knew we were in for it. |
