DVD Reviews of Horses of Gettysburg - Civil War Minutes? IV Box Set (2 DVD)
DVD Review: Interesting subject
Summary: 4 Stars
Well worth the expense of buying from America. Well done to the producers etc of this magnificent DVD.DVD Review: A Little Too Boring For Me
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this would be a really interesting film but it was a bit boring. We never made it through to the end, I had to turn it off. DVD Review: Vivid history
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Civil War nut (I am), you must see this.
If you are not, you should still enjoy this collection of brief vignettes into 19th century warfare (borrowed re-enactors re-create moments of the battle at the actual Gettysburg National Park locations). They are vividly done without a lot of special effects, and effectively and authentically bring you into the conflict of 1863. The equestrian thesis is a very engaging slant, and the extra disc conversations with re-enactors are almost as enlightening as the feature itself. The screenplay would have quotation marks all over it; they worked hard (and succeeded, in my opinion) to make it as authentic as possible, quoting actual participants and interpreting the action through serious historians.
DVD Review: Horses of Gettysburg
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this DVD. I love horses and Civil War history and I thought it was very good. I wish it had a little bit more about Traveller. There was nothing until the end, and he is my favorite horse from history.DVD Review: One of the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like the Civil War Minutes Series gets better with every production. The sound and picture quality have improved dramatically this time around. This new segment looks at the history of horses in warfare, the benefit of their use in the Civil War and has stories of unique tales from the Battle of Gettysburg. Focusing on the more popular stories from Gettysburg that included horse and rider(s) we get new insight as to how important these animals were.
From artillery use, transportation and fighting, we get stories of interest featuring such scenes like: The Bliss Farm, Kershaw's Attack, Farnsworth Charge, East Cavalry Field, Meade's Horse, Haskell's notes during Confederate bombardments on Day #3, aftermath casualties and many others.
I think this is probably the best production yet from the Civil War Minutes Series as there was plenty of useful information about the use of horses during this battle and in the war. I highly recommend this video.

Humans have relied on horses since the dawn of time, but there is no stronger bond than between a horse and rider on the battlefield.Narrated by Ronald F.

From the producer and director of "EXPO - Magic of the White City" narrated by Gene Wilder and "Gettysburg and Stories of Valor" narrated by Keith Carradine, "Horses of Gettysburg" is a special edition DVD Box Set in the CIVIL WAR MINUTES? series.
