Published 1 Jul 2020In this three-part series, I review a classic Ron Maxwell film about a little known historical event that no one talks about called the Battle of Gettysburg. I also present an abbreviated and oversimplified history of the battle, while simultaneously criticizing the movie for presenting an abbreviated and oversimplified history of the battle.
In this first episode, I discuss the first day of fighting on July 1, 1863 – including Buford’s cavalry, the Iron Brigade, the Railroad Cut, and John Burns.
