Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Oh yes you should, and if you haven’t seen Gettysburg yet, just add that to your queue alongside G&G for a weekend Civil War marathon! lol I can’t believe Burnside even bothered going through the punishment of the river crossing, never mind facing Longstreet and Jackson up that hill… -

Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Great review, Bri. “The generals spoke as if they were reading from the bible itself.” Good one.I’m with you on the Civil War fascination. I got a chance to walk the Fredricksburg battlefield a couple of years ago: along the sunken road and up Marye’s Heights. Burnside’s Union troops didn’t stand a chance.
Gotta take your recommendation and see this movie. Lang and Duvall as Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. That’s just this side of Mount Rushmore stuff.
