    Very cool effects! BTW, did you hear that they've digitally remastered Ken Burns' The Civil War to better capture "what he saw through his camera lens" back when it was first being produced? Better color for the live shots and way better detail on the war photographs that were used.

    I have a quite old Brady book and a book with all the battles which show losses, injuirees and missing. Astounding how many dead, injured and missing in a given battle. Some ran off as well so...
    I have a large framed 'poster' that was produced some years later, which lists a particular soldier's exploits/battles/injuries, etc.
    I was able to track him in the book! :)

    Thanks-I actually tried to listen to him explain this on PBS the other night but found his way of explaining to be over-the-top "touchy-feely" and I had to go surf some other channels. The guy does make great documentaries but I have a short attention span for touchy-feelies with Moe Howard haircuts.
