This is a collection of short (4 - 8 minute) segments that teachers should  sprinkle liberally on their Civil War lessons to help the subject come alive.  The segments, hosted by a Civil War re-enactor, show what the conflict was like from the soldier's point of view.  What did soldiers carry in their backpacks?  What did they write home about?  What were their uniforms like?  There are lots of personal stories, artifacts, and moving letters that give a rare look at the people caught up in this great conflict.  Get it on DVD ($49.95) or VHS tape ($44.95) - this is the original, Union focus collection.  A collection with a Confederate focus is also available.
