I thought the Ken Burns Civil War series was fairly well balanced, but, of course, with a little bias toward the North. The amount of research he'd done was prodigious and the use of period photographs and music added a nice contextual dimension. I'd like to watch it again. What say you? Nancy B.

Nancy: I too really appreciated the Ken Burns Civil War series on PBS. I really loved the music. I purchased it on DVD. As for Shelby Foote, I could listen to him talk for hours & hours. There is just something about him that is so charming. Maybe it is the old-time southern gentleman thing or his accent. He has been on Book TV several times & he has written several novels, some what based on his life. I hope to purchase them, as they sound as if they would be very good reading.
