I think he arranged a meeting in the wrong place.

Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.

You're right, our civil war reenactment group took part of the movie. I certainly wasn't Armistead in the movie, got that nickname from my group during a reenactment when I ran my sword through my hat.

Being a fan of civil war history, I got chills when we all marched for the union center....the cannon fire was amazing. It actually felt spooky, like reliving something glorious, yet terrible. Probably one of the best days of my life, over 17,000 men in uniform having a ball.

"Water." ...U. S. Grant.

I have another good friend who was in that film; he appears onscreen behind Lee (mounted on horseback) early in the film, and is in that terrible, glorious charge near the end. If only I moved to where I am now fifteen years earlier than I did.

Trying to remember, think the 9th VA calvary actors did many of the horse scenes, any chance he was with them, I may know him? We also did God's and Generals, not near as fun as Gettysburg. Slowly faded out of it after that.

I only got two seconds of air time as they scanned the troops as Armistead was giving his speech. What was haunting to us, before we charged, the wind picked up swirling the trees, you can see it in the movie if you pay attention.

That's awesome I wouldn't mind trying out reenacting some time... dunno if I could afford it, but I wouldn't mind.

I've read that before, and I don't question its veracity. As the article said, there is no real reason not to believe it, and there is no real reason to think the "witness" would lie.

My only comment was addressed to the actual "I'm a screamer" line. That's from the scriptwriter's imagination.




I also notice that there are many references here to "famous last lines" that, while funny, could hardly be considered bad@$$.
