Civil War Battlefields - Gettysburg / Wilderness / Spotsylvania / Appomattox I watched this DVD, hoping for an inspiring portrayal of this significant part of U.S. history. What I found was a boring film.Its only salvation was the importance of the subject matter. I assume it was historically accurate, but the graphics were repetitive in both discs, and the narration was dull and ponderous, particularly by the persons filmed . It is an interesting subject, but these DVDs don't do it justice. There must be a better source. Duane R. Kullberg

Obviously a low-budget affair. Random, stock footage from seemingly old movies and/or reenactments ('60s/'70s) are used to illustrate key Civil War battles, often over & over. There is a grand total of one (yes, one) "expert" used constantly who rambles on & on. I actually nodded off several times before finally giving up (I didn't even finish it). Not worth your time, trust me! (Stick to "The Civil War" by Ken Burns)

The worst film on the history of the civil war i have ever seen.Do not waste your time our money.
