Gettysburg: The Boys in Blue and Gray
Pickett's ChargeIn July of 1863, General Robert E. Lee's 75,000-strong Army of Northern Virginia and the 97,000-man Union Army of The Potomac under General George G. Meade met. Gettysburg: The Boys in Blue and Gray is the sweeping epic story of the Battle of Gettysburg as experienced by the soldiers. Following the battle, Union Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell composed a letter to his brother which is considered one of the most vivid and well-written accounts of the battle of Gettysburg. Haskell's compelling words, along with moving eyewitness accounts from soldiers on both sides, serve as a window to the largest battle ever fought on American soil. Gettysburg: The Boys in Blue and Gray includes seven full scale re-enactments, dramatic scenes, archival material and a stirring original score, transporting viewers back to the summer of 1863.
