Great History |
|
I am always intruiged by the depth of the Civil War. There are so many stories that you could learn for days. These two DVD's are filled with just some of those stories. After watching them I found myself rethinking some of the things I heard. |

True Valor |
All I can say is, that if you 'think' you know about heros--you haven't seen this DVD. The Civil War will no doubt have many heros, so many stories of heroism will never be known, told and --known only to God now.
I was extremely moved by the stories by lesser known participants in The Great Civil War.
I appreciate history. I have even more appreciation to the living historians--best known as re-enactors. They are dedicated in never letting anybody forget the blood and lives lost for what we enjoy as Americans have today. Unknown is that after this Great Civil War--the Blue and the Grey made peace and became Americans once this Civil War was concluded. Each side had deep respect for the other. |

Very Well Done and interesting |
|
I thought this was a very well done documentary..I would of given it 5 stars, perhaps, but I've just finished Ken Burns again and that is the gold standard in my opinion. This set was well done and very educational and informative, the images are outstanding as is the content. A welcome addition to any Civil War collection. |

Gettysburg & Stories of Valor - Civil War Minutes |
|
Interesting and informative. Almost a little too thorough as it lost me a few times. Very long; both my husband and I fell asleep while watching it. Aided in our visit to Gettysburg, but not exactly entertaining. |

An amazing experience for Civil War buffs! |
|
This is the first of the "Civil War Minutes" documentaries that I've watched and I'm very impressed. Despite all I've read about the Battle of Gettysburg there was plenty I learned from this outstanding film! Little known stories of extraordinary courage from privates to officers, and even civilians (John Burns, the Gettysburg resident and War of 1812 veteran who fought alongside Union soldiers and was shot three times, surviving miraculously!) are retold in detail. Actual artifacts are shown, from a blood-stained drum to a bullet-scarred Union jacket, that help bring these forgotten tales of courage and sacrifice back to life. Disc 1 focuses on Gettysburg while disc 2 is a "mixed bag" of Civil War information, from the infamous Andersonville Prison to the medical/surgical history of the war. Bonus features include an informative commentary with Michael Kraus, David M. Neville, and director Mark Bussler, an interview about Gettysburg, and bonus trailers for other "Civil War Minutes" films. Perfect for both the novice and the historian, this highly informative and entertaining documentary is sure to please all history buffs! |
