The Story of Brandy station, the largest cavalry battle ever fought on American soil. Gettysburg was the turning point of the American Civil War and is, perhaps, the most famous battle of that bloody and bitter conflict. However, only weeks before, the cavalry forces of North and South had met in what would prove to be the largest cavalry engagement of the war, the Battle of Brandy Station. This is the dramatic story of that crucial battle, a fight which would dispel the myth of the invincible Confederate cavalry forever. This DVD features a magnificent reconstruction of the Battle of Brandy Station specially filmed in Virginia, the largest cavalry re-enactment ever staged in America. Also featuring superb dramatised eye-witness accounts, computer generated 3D mapping techniques plus delightful period imagery and photographs; this programme provides an unforgettable record of a vital day in the American Civil War. Narrated by Bob Sessions. Featuring expert comment and analysis by Dr David Chandler, the worlds foremost military historian and former Head of War Studies at Sandhurst.

One of histories most famous battles also saw the death of one of its most colourful characters - the charismatic and flamboyant George Armstrong Custer. Desperate to win a victory to restore his flagging reputation, Custer trusted his luck once too often with disastrous consequences for the once-feted hero and the men under his command. Never before had the Indian tribes won such a spectacular victory over the white man, but as history reveals, the victory would cost them dearly. The Battle of Little BighornClick For DetailsCROM1133
Fought as a result of the build up to the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, this is the story of a titanic clash between two huge cavalry forces numbering some 18,000 horsemen. Until that fateful meeting, the Confederate cavalry had been considered invincible but at Brandy Station the Yankees were to prove more than a match for their enemy.

Romance still surrounds the brave but doomed Confederate Army of the American Civil War, and in particular, Robert E Lees army of Northern Virginia. Lee was a brilliant military tactician and an outstanding leader of men, as well as a humane and compassionate man with a deep love for his wife and family.

Fought during the American Civil War, Petersburg should never have been under siege at all. Union forces should have seized control of the town in June 1864 but through a mixture of confusion and incompetence they failed in their objective and a yearlong siege followed. Petersburg is best remembered for the tragedy of the great crater, the result of a huge underground explosion in July 1864, into which the Union Army inexplicably charged, creating a ready made killing zone. This unusual tactic was an extreme answer to solving the problem of siege warfare. Under Siege - Petersburg 1864Click For DetailsCROM1214

Described as the Deathknell of the Confederacy - Sharpsburg (Antietam to the North) was a savage bloodletting for both sides. It was said to be the bloodiest day of the American Civil War. In the painting, below the Dunkard church confederate General John Bell Hoods Texas Division - or what was left of it- stand in line of battle. In the distance Union Major General John Sedgwicks division can be seen advancing on the rebel lines. During the ghastly four hour struggle the Confederates managed to hold and then repel the bloodied remnants of Sedgwicks division back to the east woods and at about 10.30am, the carnage around the Dunkard church had ended. Eventually though, the Confederate forces were in retreat, loosing Sharpsburg to the Union but prepared to fight on for two and a half more years, bloodied but unbeaten.Bloodied But Unbeaten (The Battle for the Dunkard Church During the Battle of Sharpsburg, September by Chris Collingwood.Click For DetailsDHM0978

Dr. Gilbert Gaul frequently went hunting with his good friend up around Fall Creek Falls state park. On one particular day, they were hunting deer and tracking for some time his friend stopped and rested a while. He leaned his gun against a tree and stopped to take a short break. Dr. Gaul, being an exceptional artist, saw a moment to capture an incredible image. There at that site, pulled out a piece of paper and made an outline sketch of his friend. Later, after he returned to his office, he sat down and painted the Pickett. The sole Confederate Picket. The irony of this painting is that his friends name was Ulysses Simpson Grant Walling, and is the Great Great Grandfather of Rhonda Morgan who we would llike to thank for sharing this information.

The 50 years before the American Civil War saw a boom in the construction of coastal forts. These stone and brick forts stretched from New England to the Florida Keys, and as far as the Mississippi River. At the start of the war some were located in the secessionist states, and many fell into Confederate hands. Although a handful of key sites remained in Union hand throughout the war, the remainder had to be won back through bombardment or assault. This book examines the design, construction and operational history of those fortifications that played a crucial part in the course of the Civil War.

Major General George G. Meade reached the Gettysburg battlefield just before midnight on July 1, 1863. Meade had been selected to command the Army of the Potomac just four days earlier, when Major General Joseph Hooker, the man whom Lee had defeated at Chancellorsville two months earlier, resigned over differences with the War Department. Few generals in the war bore a heavier burden of command than did Meade at Gettysburg. The country looked to him to deliver victory over a Confederate army that had not yet known defeat. If the Army of the Potomac was defeated, the consequences to the future of the Union would be grim. Meades headquarters was at Taneytown, Maryland, about thirteen miles south of Gettysburg. Meade stayed at Taneytown to better coordinate the movements of his army corps toward the battlefield. Only when he was certain the entire army was responding to the unexpected clash at Gettysburg did he transfer his headquarters to the battlefield. Meade rode to the gatehouse of the Evergreen Cemetery where he found six or seven generals, including Oliver Howard, Henry Slocum, and Daniel Sickles. All of them agreed that the terrain south of Gettysburg offered advantages. General Sickles was heard to say; It is a good place to fight from, general! To which Meade responded: I am glad to hear you say so, gentlemen, for it is too late to leave it. The Bivouac captures Meade on the northern end of Cemetery Ridge, near the farm of a free black man named Abraham Brian, gazing west toward Seminary Ridge. In front of Meade, the line of stacked muskets and sleeping soldiers belong to Brigadier General John Robinson’s 2nd Division, 1st Army Corps, which had suffered dreadful casualties in the first day of fighting.

For many Americans, the early months leading up to, and during, the first year of the Civil War, were months spent in a flurry of patriotic activities. Few have expressed these times better than H.E. Sterkx, In the beginning patriotism became the prevailing emotion of the day and it affected old and young alike with the determination to do something, almost anything to help. Some designed flags for the republic, others made banners and delivered presentation speeches for local military units, and there were still many more who dedicated themselves to the tremendous task of encouraging men to enlist in the armed forces. It was a time like no other-- because it offered a rare opportunity for females to participate in public affairs. The roles which women played in supporting the war -north and south- through their domestic talents were noted, and honored, and praised at the time. Today, however, they are often overlooked. For the vast majority of women, contributions to the war effort required traditional, domestic skills--sewing flags, or uniforms, knitting socks, and providing foodstuffs, extra blankets and a myriad of items from home. Many soldiers noted that it was these goods--along with letters of encouragement--that allowed them to continue on when the realities of war overwhelmed them. The Patriots of 61 were the War Workers of 1862-65, ministering to the physical, medical, psychological, and spiritual needs of soldiers. The Patriots of 61 by Keith Rocco.Click For DetailsKR0003
It was the morning of September 17, 1862 -- a day destined to become the bloodiest 24 hours in American history -- and the 9th New York quietly steadied themselves for the trial to come. The Ninth New York was one of the Federal Army’s most colorfully-uniformed commands, clad in exotic regalia inspired by the famed French colonial troops called Zouaves. Like many Yankee Zouave units, at the outbreak of war in April, 1861 these sons of Manhattan had raillied to the cause behind a dashing and charismatic leader Rush Hawkins. Colonel Hawkins was not present at Antietam; ten days earlier he had returned to New York on leave of absence, and the Ninth would go into battle under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Edgar. A. Kimball. While lacking Rush Hawkins good looks and sartorial splendor, Kimball was equally determined that the Ninth New York live up to the inscription emblazoned on the red silk of the regimental colors: Toujours Pret--Always Ready. Morning had given way to afternoon and hundreds of men had fallen in repeated attempts to storm the lower bridge of the Antietam before Isaac Rodmans Federal division got underway. With the Ninth New York and Colonel Harison Fairchild’s brigade leading the way, Rodmans troops began crossing the creek at Snavelys Ford, just south of the position held by General Robert Toombs stalwart Georgians. As the Confederates fell back before Burnsides troops, Southern artillery on the heights directed their fire at the ponderous Federal masses. The Practice of the rebel artilleryment was something wonderful in its accuracey, Second Lieutenant Matthew J. Graham recalled; they dropped shot and shell right into our line repeatedly. Lieutenant Graham was hugging the earth with his comrades in Company H. when he heard his commander shout Get up the Ninth! I turned over quickly to look at Colonel Kimball, who had given the order, Graham later wrote, thinking he had become suddenly insane. The Lieutenant rose from the ground, firmly believing that the regiment would not last one minute after the men got fairly on their feet. But Kimball led his Zouaves forward, over the undulating, steadily rising ground. The air was filled with a deluge of bullets, grape, canister and shell, wrote Charles Johnson, who fell with a shot through the left hip. The mental strain was so great, David Thompson observed, the whole landscape for an instant turned slightly red. Awed by Libaires desperate act of gallantry, the New Yorkers regained their momentum. Captain Lawrence Leahy raised the other banner, and followed Libaire, as did Lieutenant Colonel Kimball, Adjutant Homer, and First Lieutenant Robert McKechnie of Company H -- all shouting Forward! With their flags and surviving officers at the very apex of the charge, the Zouaves surged ahead to the wall, forcing Draytons troops from the corpse-strewn breastwork. Ahead of the thinning Federal line, across 500 yards of open meadow, Georgians and South Carolinians of Brigadier General Thomas F. Draytons brigade awaited the oncoming Yankees from the shelter of a low stone Wall. When the Ninth New York had approached to within 200 yards of the Rebel position at the stone wall, Lieutenant Colonel Kimball shouted the command Double quick, charge! A deadly volley blazed out from the muskets of Draytons Confederates, and at such close range the destruction in the Zouave ranks was terrible. Scores of men fell on top of one another, Private Wright recalled, while Lieutenant Graham, his right let shattered at the knee, noted We all went down together. Struggling to rise, Graham discovered that the Color Guard had been obliterated, and the regimental flags lay on the ground. One or two men staggered to their feet and reached for the colors, the officer remembered, but were shot down at once. Suddenly Captain Adolphe Libaire, the 22 year old French-born commander of Company E--the Zouaves Color Company--dashed forward and snatched up the fallen regimental banner. According to Lieutenant Homer, Libaire was habitually quiet, modest and unassuming. But rising to the crisis, the soft-spoken Captain was a man possessed. Raising the flag, Libaire waved it over his head and yelled, Up, dam you, and forward! -- then sprinted for the wall. That Forward, I for one will never forget while I live, Zouave William Cockefair wrote 35 years later; all he required was that we follow him. He showed the way. It was a deed that would later earn the young Frenchman the Medal of Honor. Always Ready by Keith Rocco.Click For DetailsKR0004
At Gettysburg, two men, Brigadier General John Buford and Major General John Reynolds, made critical command decisions during the frays opening stages that helped bring about a Northern victory. Their military savvy on the morning of July 1 delayed the Confederates and allowed the Union to gain possessions of the high ground south of Gettysburg. On July 1, the two officers reached the apex of their military careers. Buford deserves accolades for wisely deploying his two brigades of troopers across the ridges west of Gettysburg. The popping carbines and rumbling horse artillery of his command forced the lead elements of the Army of Northern Virginia to deploy off the dusty ribbon of the Chambersburg Pike, and form from a column into battle lines, a ponderous maneuver for nineteenth century infantry, and one that gained vital time for the van of the Federal advance, let by Reynolds, to arrive on the field. While Buford was giving battle, Reynolds was hurrying his foot soldiers toward the contested ground. Upon arriving in Gettysburg he immediately set out to find Buford. After a quick greeting, the generals cantered across pastures and fields of wheat, halting near the Chambersburg Pike to observe the terrain and discuss strategy. Within the hour, Reynolds would ride to his death, shot in the head while shepherding the Norths famous Iron Brigade into action. Bufords end came before the year was out, though he was to be cheated a warriors battle-death. On December 16, 1863, he succumbed to the ravages of typhoid fever, contracted during the Mine Run campaign. Reynolds & Buford at Gettysburg by Keith Rocco.Click For DetailsKR0005
General Winfield Scott Hancock, commander of the Union Second Corps was trying to avert a disaster on the Union center. The exposed Third Corps was overrun and fleeing the battlefield, with the victorious Confederates in pursuit. This breakthrough opened an avenue to the Union rear that threatened the whole army. Hancock needed men to buy him time to bring reinforcements up to plug the gap in the Federal line. The general observed a body of men lying in a slight hollow, just behind the crest of Cemetery Ridge, to the left of the cemetery. He spurred his horse to this position. Hancock spied Colonel William Colvills 1st Minnesota Infantry, 1st brigade, 2nd division, Second Corps. These men were in reserve, but they had been watching the battle unfold through the dense clouds of gunsmoke that clung to the ground on this sultry summer day. The 1st Minnesota was understrength, shouldering but 262 muskets this day. The regiment had been bloodied on every field, from First Bull Run through Chancellorsville, and was further weakened by detachments. This single, undermanned regiment was the only Union force at hand. My God! exclaimed Hancock when he saw them, Are these all the men we have here! What regiment is this? he demanded. First Minnesota, replied Colvill. Charge those lines, Hancock ordered, pointing in the direction of the Peach Orchard and Plum Run. Hancock and Colvill looked at each other, Hancock knowing what he had ordered and Colvill realizing both the necessity and the grim implications of it. Forward, double-quick, Colvill barked to his men. With bayonets fixed, and rifles at right-shoulder shift, the 1st Minnesota charged down the slope toward Cadmus Wilcoxs Confederate brigade, which was then reforming its lines in the marshy terrain along Plum Run. The Minnesotans advanced along a hundred yard front, with both flanks in the air. Losing men at every step, they continued forward. As the Federals neared the enemy, they leveled their bayonets and charged. The ferocity of this assault stunned the Confederates, driving back the first line of defenders, staggering their advance. Then, as both lines steadied, they exchanged volleys at a distance of thirty yards. Though his line continued to melt away, Colvills Minnesotans traded their lives for the precious minutes Hancock required. In just fifteen minutes it was over. Only 47 men, commanded by a sergeant, rallied to the 1st Minnesotas banner. Two hundred fifteen of their comrades, all of their officers, including Colvill, lay on the field.

The acrid smell of gunpowder rankled the afternoon air over the plains at Manassas, Virginia. The guns of the Union and Confederate armies were engaged in the first great battle of the American Civil War, July 21, 1861. By early afternoon the hard-pressed Confederates were gathered on the slopes of Henry Hill, awaiting another onslaught, taking advantage of the lull to reorganize and reinforce their lines. On the reverse slope of the hill the brigade of General Thomas Jonathan Jackson posted here among a growth of pine trees to shelter the men from the harassing Federal artillery fire. Jacksons firmness here earlier in the day had already earned him the soon to be immortal name Stonewall, for his cool demeanor under fire. The Virginians had already been blooded with an attack on Captain Charles Griffins Federal battery. The attack of the 14th Brooklyn Zouaves was fierce and the New Yorkers hit Jacksons men hard, driving the 33rd Virginia and disrupting the 2nd Virginia, threatening to dislodge the Confederates from their defensive position on the hill. Jackson rode among his men, excitedly giving orders. Well charge them now and drive them to Washington! exhorted Jackson. Each new Union regiment was driven back by the determined volleys of Stonewalls 4th and 27th Virginia regiments. Confederate General Pierre G.T. Beauregard personally led the 5th Virginia against the 5th Massachusetts Infantry. This charge forced the Bay-State men to abandon their toehold of the Henry House and the tide of the battle now turned in favor of the Southerners. Jacksons charge altered the course of the battle, and gave the Confederacy a stunning victory. Baptism at Manassas by Keith Rocco.Click For DetailsKR0007

For many who study the American Civil War, April 6, 1865, has come to be known as Black Thursday for the Confederacy. Three days earlier, General Robert E. Lees Army of Northern Virginia had evacuated the defenses protecting Richmond and Petersburg with the intention of heading towards North Carolina. Unfortunately for the Southern army, such plans were not meant to be. On April 5, as Lee departed Amelia Court House with his army, he found the Federal army entrenched across his path at Jetersville station on the Richmond & Danville Railroad. Choosing not to bring on an engagement, instead the Confederate commander determined he would make a night march around the Union roadblock. The Confederate army now began heading in a westward direction toward Farmville. At this point he was told, rations would be available for his men before they continued on with their journey to North Carolina. All went well through most of the morning of the 6th. Finally in mid-afternoon, while the army was crossing a small watercourse known as Little Sailors Creek, Union cavalry began a series of hit and run tactics on the Confederate column. Confederate General Ewells corps was preparing for an impending attack by Union infantry which was now arriving on the scene. The two armies would first come in contact around the farmhouse of James Moses Hillsman which overlooked the creek. After brief skirmishing around the house, the Confederate forces fell back and across the creek, digging in on the high ground overlooking it. Shortly after 5:00 P.M., Union artillery now positioned around the Hillsman house opened fire on Ewells line. The Confederates, having no artillery with which to reply, were on the receiving end of a bombardment which would last approximately a half-hour. Upon its deadly completion, two divisions moved down to and over the creek, reforming to assault Ewells position on the heights. As the Federal infantry moved up the slope against the Southern battleline, some of the Union soldiers would actually wave handkerchiefs as an invitation for Ewells men to surrender. In response to this Ewells men rose and fired a volley into the enemy ranks, breaking a portion of the Federal line. Those Confederate forces in front of this breach then made a counter-attack, pushing some of the Union soldiers all the way back to the creek. Leading this impromptu offensive was Colonel Crutchfield, formerly Stonewall Jacksons Chief of Artillery. In the ensuing struggle, Crutchfield would be killed and Major Robert Stiles of the Chaffins Bluff Garrison would assume command. Eventually General Custis Lee would order these men back to their original post as the Federal army was now preparing for a second major assault upon their line. With both of Wrights divisions now across Little Sailors Creek and reassembled, the Southerners prepared for another attack. This time the Union battleline actually overlapped both flanks of the Confederate position. As the two forces locked themselves in deadly hand-to-hand combat, slowly groups of Ewells men began surrendering. The scene being depicted in this painting shows the last stand of the Savannah Volunteer Guards as it is about to receive the final Federal attack. By this time, the Guards can only muster eighty-five men. With the colors being planted on the road side, Union soldiers of the 121st New York Infantry are reaching the crest of the ridge. Sergeants Richard Millen and Simeon Morton rally the Guards around the battalion flag. Soon, both men will be shot down. Finally, Major Basinger, seeing the hopelessness of the situation, signals for surrender. It was shortly thereafter, that Harris S. Hawthorne of the 121st would retrieve the battalion’s flag; he is also credited with the capture of General Custis Lee. In the 1870s the flag would be returned to the surviving Guards, a member writing, it was lost without dishonor and recovered without humiliation.
