I'm surprised you're not.

I'll be content with watching the movie again. Especially the reenactors' parts.

RIP to those brave souls who gave their all on both sides.

We planned on going this past week, mainly to listen to all the historians, but my father has been ill, so we had to change plans. CSPAN did show all 8 hours of the historians. We usually leave NC, head to Richmond, then Bull Run, Gettysburg, then come home down the valley to Sharpsburg, Harper's Ferry. It's a fun overall cheap trip, bout $1000.00 plus wifes shopping. I know many of the actors from Gettysburg movie were there this week.

It's sad that during the "War of Northern Aggression" so many lives were lost.

Being a reenactor and partaking in the movie still remains one of the best experiences I've ever had.

That must be one re-enactment well worth seeing....nothing even approaches those numbers here in the UK.

You were in the movie? Awesome! I take it you were a CSA soldier, not a Northener?
