It was well written and well delivered by the historians. The reenactments were fun to watch on it.
And besides, my good friend James McPherson makes an appearance on the show. Not every day I get to see him doing his thing.
One thing that surprised me was the defense of Burnside delivered by one of the historians. How he was the only person to take his assigned target, clear the area out of enemies entirely, and almost cut off the escape of the Army of Northern Virginia. Only problem; he hadn't yet paid up his gambling debt to AP Hill, who also lost his girl to McClellan. So, Hill had a bone to pick with him.
But, I certainly say you should go out and get this show. Very nicely done.
