Civil War Video
The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns Ken Burns PBS Home Video, 1990 This is the video that got me interested in the American Civil War. Shelby Foote is fantastic in this series. Probably the best documentary ever made. You can see the influence that this documentary has had on all of the documentaries that followed it. |
