This is the sweeping epic story of Gettysburg as seen through the eyes of the soldiers who were there. In mid July 1863 Union Lt. Frank Haskell wrote a letter home to his brother which many historians consider the most vivid and well written eyewitness account of the three day battle of Gettysburg.

"It is, I can say, one of the most beautifully photographed shows I have even seen. If Luminence Films takes its name from the word luminance, it certainly lives up to its moniker "

--Stephen Kopfinger Television Reviewer, THE LANCASTER INTELLIGENCE JOURNAL

"I am a big Civil War history buff, and I have seen many programs on the subject but there is no doubt in my mind that this film is one of the finest programs I have seen about the Civil War. The music accompanying the film is simply incredible and adds a great finishing touch to what is already a compelling film"

--Steven Thum, Programming, SOUTH DAKOTA PUBLIC TELEVISION

"Very well shot and well written"

--Charlie Maday Senior Vice President, Programming, THE HISTORY CHANNEL

"Very well received by our viewers, in fact we have decided to re air it during Ken Burns Civil War series in late September"

--Tom Keck, Director of Programming, WITF-PBS Harrisburg
