Tonight PBS is showing on its fine American Experience series a program about death in the Civil War, using as its basis Drew Gilpin's Faust The Republic of Suffering how Americans dealt and treated battlefield deaths. Highly recommended award winning book.

Please see Brooks Simpson's review of the program, http://cwcrossroads.wordpress.com/2...e-civil-war-the-american-experience-a-review/

Thanks for the reminder, Brad. I had marked this on my calender but promptly forgot about it. It is a must see for me. -- Al

I think this could be an interesting program. I believe the style is the Burns style but the content is a little different.
