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.
