- Summary:
- The Civil War is shown like never before in this unique program. Based on the writings of Pulitzer Prize winning author James McPherson, IMAGES OF THE CIVIL WAR uses the acclaimed artwork of Mort Kurstler and dramatic re-enactments to bring the War Between the States to life. Mort Kurstler's work is known for its stunning attention to detail and historical accuracy. Here, his paintings and illustrations offer a unique view of the Civil war scenes that were not captured by the battlefield photographers and artists of the day. And stirring re-enactments show the chaos, brutality and courage of famous events like Pickett's charge and the Irish Brigade's stand at Fredericksburg. This is a one-of-a-kind program that belongs in the library of every Civil War buff.
