If you watched The Civil War, Ken Burns' remarkable documentary series, you'll remember this: the poignant letter Major Sullivan Ballou wrote to his wife before the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. Nobody writes letters like this anymore! Tags:SullivanBallouletter Added: 19th January 2008 Views: 231 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
I've really become fascinated with these Civil War documentaries, with all of Lava's posts and some information I received from my husband's family recently, it's made the events surrounding the war so much more interesting. I'd also like to post something we received a few weeks ago.
If I can get one person to become interested in history, it's been a worthwhile day. I highly recommend Ken Burns' series. It was the best program I've ever watched on TV--no exaggeration.
