Good Morning GailA and Feather. Anyone remember the Walt Disney movie they made of this event?

Anyone remember the Walt Disney movie they made of this event? I remember it vividly. I'm from Chattanooga.
I remember at the end the one combative guy went back to help Andrews (Fess Parker) just because he wanted to slug another rebel. He wound up being hanged just before Andrews; there was a scene where Andrews and Fuller shook hands at that point. Very cool.

Anyone remember the Walt Disney movie they made of this event? Sure. But the Buster Keaton version is a lot more fun - and really a better film (although a comedy it has a certain flavor of history.) It was my kids' favorite movie for quite awhile - they clamored to see it over and over.

Sure do....it was a great film..Fess Parker's first starring role....it was before Davey Crockett...back then, Disney made movies, not agendas...

I don't remember the Disney version, but I have seen (several times) a silent film titled "The General" with (I believe) Buster Keaton. I always thought that it was a fictional tale, but now know better.
Wonderful story.

Check out my post to Anti Jen about movie. I had a lot of cousins used as extras. Movie was made in Clayton/Mountain City, GA area because they still had the wooden bridges.
