I am assuming it's based on the Wills book.


Edit: to fix typo... :blush:

1. Thanks! and please change the e to a u in Gettysburg.

If you're interested, the home of my Dad's family, on the battlefield beside Little Round Top:

2. Looks like they are using CGI to create Lincoln's face on an actor's body

instead of just using ordinary makeup and someone who looks somewhat like Lincoln.

First time I've seen that done!

3. It's interesting, isn't it?

Not too shabby. ;-)

4. Not a bad little special program...

Given a relatively limited budget, not a bad little program... beats the crap out of the reality TV alternative.

:patriot:

5. And the next show is about Pickett's Charge....

thanks a lot! Now I'm stuck on the military channel. ;-) I guess because of my ancestors and the stories I've been told, always been fascinated w/Gettysburg and spent time there as a kid.
