The miniseries that started it all for me...

My butt will be parked in front of the TV most of next week for this. I am posting it here because the Ken Burns series is what started it all for me, what quite literally changed my life and set me on the course I have been on for...17 years now? If you have never seen this very well done series, you should. It is full of photos and music that paint a pretty rich picture of the war. It deals a good bit with women, mostly better-known ones (i.e., Mary Chestnut, Clara Barton)...talking about their work in arsenals would have been a plus. The site for the series is pretty nifty, too...you can even make your own clip!
