Regarding BrianSez’s Review 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. |
