[Xthe17th]

film is as accurate as possible to history.

Yep. And a lot of this film was shot in my backyard - Winchester VA, Martinsburg WV, Sharpsburg PA, etc. The scene where Johhny Reb and Billy Yank exchanged tobbackie and coffee in the middle of the Rappohannock sure looked like the Shenandoah river by Harpers Ferry WV - low and lots of rocks.

It's interesting how there's so much history and historic old homes around here that camera shots could be mixed and matched - the background scenes (exterior AND interior) are in many cases authentic!

I KNEW I was gonna LOVE THIS MOVIE the minute I saw that Daniel Neman of the Lib'ral RAG Richmond Times-DISGRACE said it sucked and gave it a one-star outta four!!

Neman's a LeftWing LOONIE...MUD

BTW...Sultan, you gotta git AdminSimp to shorten his screen name.

It probably was Harper's Ferry; sure looked like it to me, too. The Fredericksburg scenes were actually shot in Harper's Ferry, which was dressed up to look like F'burg in the 1860s. I hike the Apalachian trail in VA and MD, wandered through HF while they were shooting the film there. It was pretty amazing. Asphalt roads leading into town suddenly became 19^th century dirt roads by the simple application of many cubic yards of shredded hardwood mulch.
