What a disappointment. I am not sure if it will spur more interest in the Civil War — I hope it does. But an historically accurate and well made documentary on Gettysburg would also spur interest and get the facts right. So sad…

That’s perhaps the first thing that I’ve found to like about that awful documentary. I don’t know the first thing about the filming business, but it makes me wonder…at what point did they actually bring in historians? Seems they asked for help too late. One historian or reenactor on set during filming (or just prior) could have corrected so many problems!

One can generate interest and be accurate at the same time.

I have been impressed with Scott Hartwig and Garry Adelman as historians for many years and don’t necessarily blame them for the horrible TV program on Gettysburg – I place the blame with the History Channel. But I don’t see the point now in trying to put lipstick on a pig by citing uninformed kudos like this:

“The film was tremendous and awe-inspiring, and even managed to get this old school academic on the edge of his seat.”

Please, that’s a bit much.

Like Chris Evans said, stick with Civil War Combat.
