Kid goes to a school not far from Shiloh...
Ive never been there...Been to Vicksburg, Petersburg, Gettysburg and to Chickamauga...couldn't spend much time at Chickamauga or Gettysburg...would love to go back...and I will be going to Shiloh...
I have the series also...in VHS (shows how old it is)
...Watch the 1863 'A very Bloody Affair 'episode yesterday on Netflix...
Its something you have to actually watch and pay attention to...personally I think it should be mandatory viewing for every kid by the 9th grade...
Show them what 'reality' looks like...
