3.0 out of 5 stars An Ambitious Attempt, April 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Smithsonian's Great Battles of the Civil War: Volume Four [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Volume IV of this series is an ambitious attempt to explain the details of the battles of Stones River, Chancellorsville, Brandy Station and Gettysburg. The 77 minutes is replete with historical commentary from experts, photographs, maps and reenactment scenes of the respective battles. The major weakness of this video is the difficulty of making clear the intricacies of each particular battle, as much action occurred at various times and places at each battle over a period of days.This video can not be compared to the masterful film of Burns on the Civil War, but is hardly inferior to "Civil War Combat." Positively one is able to see the very battlefields in question and the sites of their major activity. Also, the reenactments provide vivid imagery for Civil War fans to enjoy.
