Last Days of The Civil War (DVD, 2003, 2 Disc Set)

In 2000, I traveled to all the Civil Battle Fields where two of my great great grandfathers fought. One for New York wounded at Gettysburg, Captured at James City,Prisons in Richmond and Andersonville. Paroled, exchanged and wounded at Petersburg two weeks before the end of the War.
The other one for Pennsylvania was sick and left in hospital at Winchester. Captured by Stonewall Jackson. Town changed hands 72 times in 4 years. Returned to duty and wounded at Spotsylvania Court House.
I went to Appomattox Court House at end of five week trip.
This was a great DVD that showed the places that ended the War with great explanations of that end.

This documentary brings out details every Civil War buff should see. I've seen most Civil War movies and this brings out details I never new even from college history. I highly recommend if your into Civil War.

I love this dvd set because it was about some important times in our civil war. I bought the dvd because my father is a huge civil war buff and it was something he would enjoy.

I just recently became very interested in the civil war. It is amazing how fast times have changed and in some instances stayed the same. I guess I never really payed much attention in history class so it was great to see which
general represented which side of the war. It also gave their breif personal histories , Along with President Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. The DVD was very informative with many historians prespectives of the war. I would highly recommend

Very entertaining 2 DVD set from the History Channel. I particularly enjoyed the section based upon Jay Winik's book April 1865. Good for those without a large amount of Civil War knowledge but I also feel those with a deeper understanding would benefit as well. Well worth the money and time to watch.

INTERESTED IN THIS SUBJECT-THE CIVIL WAR IS FORGOTTEN BYE TODAY'S YOUTH-JUST AS THE VIETNAM WAR ANOTHER OF MY INTERESTS

This is a well done and accurate pictorial of the Civil War. It was very
interesting and well worth the price. I would not hesitate to buy it again.
Thank you.

This is an awesome series! It is very well made. There is lots of information. It's like a book that you can't put down!!!!!! I especially liked presenting issues from more than one viewpoint.

These episodes have appeared on TV, and do not go into any great depth about the events surrounding this time. Most is a very quick overview.

well done video from history channel, great history lesson, about lincoln and davis, should be used in history classes in high school and college, i've learned so much.
