Gettysburg: After seeing Gods and Generals this summer I have been anxious to see the other film made by Ronald F. Maxwell. Featuring much of the same cast as his later film Gods and Generals is the story of how three days changed the course of history.

The subject of Gettysburg is one that has been argued, discussed, debated and reflected upon countless times since those so many thousands of men gave "the last full measure of devotion." Just condensing that into a film is a task which many would believe to be impossible and yet, Maxwell not only did it but he did so in an enjoyable film which makes history come alive.

I believe that this film should be required viewing in schools for the battle of Gettysburg and in a way also to get a fairly accurate view of what it all may have looked like. I cannot recommend this film enough. It was fantastic!
