Just came across this very interesting university lecture. Far from being a dry retelling of what ive heard or read before its actually a very interesting look at the confederacy and the southern soldier.
Worth a look.
Ps: I should have some pictures of some based Confederate troops with flags in the next couple of days. Been doing a lot of work on my Painting Service Blog and its slowed down work on everything else.
I found another good Documentary on You Tube, this time in regards to different weapons of the civil war. Very interesting some of the weapons that were being used and even more interestingly weapons (like the Gatling gun) that were designed and could have been used to change the outcome of the war but due to shortsightedness or bureaucratic reasons weren't deployed.
If you haven't seen this one before i think you will find it interesting.
Searching my way through You tube for ACW documentaries i came across the Ken Burns Series The Civil War. It consists of 9 episodes, over 6 hours or more of video. They look like they will be interesting to listen too whilst i paint my southern lads.
I've linked the videos here for reference.
Episode 1- The Cause 1861
Episode 2 - A Very Bloody Affair 1862
Episode 3 - Forever Free 1862
Episode 4 - Simply Murder 1863
Episode 5 - The Universe of Battle 1864
Episode 6 - Valley of the Shadow of Death 1864
Episode 7 - Most Hollowed Ground 1864
Episode 8 - War is All Hell 1865
Episode 9 - The better Angels of our Nature - 1865
As i haven't watched the series yet i cant comment on how good it is but it has some good reviews on Amazon and i imagine if i like it i'll buy the DVD set.
If anyone following or watching my blog has watched this series id love to know your thoughts on it.
Now to watch episode 1 and put stage 2 of the grey on another 48 figs.
