Editorial Reviews

Review

"A remarkable story about a soldier in the midst of battle whose determination is an inspiration to all. Highly recommended." --Susan Clayton, "Library Journal"

Product Description

THE BIOGRAPHICAL DOCUMENTARY THAT SHOWS ONE MAN'S COURAGE AND FORTITUDE Harvard student William F. Bartlett stretches the bounds of human resilience in "Shot to Pieces." His determination to triumph in battle is legendary. Hit again and again by Confederate rifle and cannon fire, Bartlett resolutely returns to battle despite myriad injuries. Even after losing his leg from the knee down, this brave soldier leads his troops with an untiring spirit. Returning to battle and later captured at the Battle of the Crater, he survives starvation and disease in prison to return to his home. Bartlett is later honored by both the North and South for his devotion to duty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courage, bravery and an iron will!, January 8, 2003
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Civil War Life: Shot to Pieces (DVD)
This amazing and true tale follows the Civil War life of General Bartlett who survived multiple skirmishes, battles and hardships throughout his military career. This story starts with Bartlett barely surviving a dangerous skirmish and retreat during the battle of Ball's Bluff when he was a Captain of Company I, 20th Massachusetts. Bartlett is soon promoted a number of times while losing a leg and suffering from a multiple of wounds. Contrary to family pleas not to go back to the field, Bartlett faces the enemy on countless occasions and is eventually promoted to Brigadier General at the age of 24.

The action never stops and the re-enactments are great. Michael Kraus,David Neville and company have put together their finest work in this production that captures the heart, bravery and boldness of a great Union officer. A nice thing to add is that this production is created by historians who care about proper clothing and following the absolute correct formats of those they are portraying. Excellent re-enactments and fighting await you in this 80 minute story about a man that defied many odds during the Civil War.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better., September 19, 2003
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Civil War Life: Shot to Pieces (DVD)
I was a bit disappointed by this film. I was expecting a motion picture. It is more of a documentary. The caption on the back of the DVD box leads you to believe that it's a full-length movie. The acting wasn't the greatest either.
