Great story, Snippy. There is a scene in Gods and Generals where the Yanks and Rebs trade tobacco for coffee along the river. They meet in the middle and share a subtle moment together. It's a very cool scene.

aomagrat - excellent shots of the big guns!

Although I liked Gettysburg better, Gods and Generals is an excellent film. I wish they could have covered more, they had to skip some of the major actions covered in the time the movie takes place.

There is a real lack of good "War between the States" movies

..Yanks and Rebs trade tobacco for coffee along the river.

Darn I wish I could remember the thread we ran where this similar story was posted as a first hand account from a soldier's diary. I'll have to look around.
