Thanks for posting that. Have not seen that one.
I do love history. Have been to quite a few of those battlefields also as well as those for the battle for independence from England (and of course being a Texan, the Alamo and San Jacinto). But the one at Gettysburg always leaves me in awe. Over 50,000 casualties in 3 days of battle is incredible. Especially Picket's charge. The scene of bones left lying in the field is certainly telling.
All those men (and boys) marching off to the glory of war soon encountered the realism of what they were doing.
