Saw this movie! I agree, it was incredible! I had relatives on both sides of the war. I collect a lot of civil war memoribilia, one whole wall of my house is dedicated to guns and swords from that era. It's divided North and South with each relative's photo on his side. Not quite sure why I have this fascination with this particular war, but I do.  Saw Private Ryan too, (regarding another post in this thread), it was good too!
