The turning point of the American civil war!

The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-July 3, 1863), fought in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was the turning point of the American Civil War and is perhaps the most famous battle of that bloody and bitter conflict.

Customer Reviews

Gettysburg Battle DVD
As far as a historical view of the battle of Gettysburg, this DVD is sufficiently good to warrant purchase if it is at a REAL good price! But, it is NOT a movie, and as such, the action is more "spotty" than a movie would be. And that is the only reason I wouldn't give it 5-stars! Historically accurate, but mildly "theatrical," as opposed to more realistic. Good, nonetheless.
