Personal belongings
open a window into the lives of those who battle in America's Civil
War. The stories behind never-before-seen photographs, letters,
artifacts and hundreds of rare paintings and engravings complete the
picture of the Civil War in CIVIL WAR MINUTES® - Union. Small
and unique objects, such as a drum from the Battle of Gettysburg with
a hidden note inside, are pieced together to reveal the human element
of war. This film also discloses the perspective of the average foot
soldier through handwritten letters to family members.
The real lives of ordinary people who leave their homes and families
behind to answer duty's call for this new and inexperienced nation are
featured. This documentary explores soldiers' everyday lives through
the personal effects they carry into war.
