This review is from: Civil War Minutes - Union VHS Box Set (VHS Tape)

Great video series, highly recommended. Perfect for any fan of the Civil War. I love the soldier's letters and the guns, very cool. Its a neat box set because it shows a side of the war I've never seen before from letters in the field. It also has a lot of info on equipment they used in the field which was helpful. Again, highly recommended for any fan of the Civil War.
