Hi Sam
Hope you are enjoying the summer run.
Picked up 'Gods and Generals' this past week.
Found the movie to be a great compliment to the Movie Gettysburg.
I wish Tom Berenger had been available to play Longstreet in the movie.
Duval was good..unless he missed the mark playing General Lee..one gets the impression that Lee was a great leader..but kinda wierd on the philosophical..especially when he refused to go see Jackson on his death bed.
It was great to see all the other leaders from Gettysburg in this movie.
I watched Gettysburg after the second part of Gods and Generals...really found the character development to increase..and have more depth.
The artillery action in Gods and Generals is much more dramatic and revelaing in shock value.
It must have taken great resolve to march into cannister fire for a second time on another days battle.
Looking forward in time..I see the resolve of Americas military ability....Her forces are able to relax and be normal folk ..yet when the moment arrises..the resolve appears..and things begin to move smartly.
Other nations should take heed of such examples of Americas fortitude...
When the boys dander is up....there is not much to hold them back.
Silly Democrats need to view such films.and reconnect with the nations heart.
America is not really her miltary as so many in the world scoff..but she is very much their resolve.
She marches to One Flag now...
Pitty those on the other end of the field. : )
There is a lot of history in Ohio regarding Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa (The Prophet). We have an excellent ourdoor drama about Tecumseh. The Prophet was pretty bizarre to say the least.
Good read about Tippecanoe. Thanks and Good Morning.
