Blood and Glory: The Civil War in Color (2015)

This is an H2 Civil War miniseries to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War in April 2015. In the style of WWII in HD and Vietnam in HD, we will tell the story of the Civil War through the experience of a collection of carefully selected soldiers. Selected by the quality of the primary source materials and covering the breadth of the four years of the war, potential portraits for the North could be: John Geary, Division Commander from Pennsylvania who fought in all the major campaigns and whose son died in his arms on the battlefield; the Taylor Brothers who were volunteers from the First Minnesota, one of whom died at Gettysburg; and Charles Wainwright, an artillery officer from New York whose voluminous diary was so good, it was published. The South could include: Edward Porter Alexander from Georgia whose memoir of his fighting in all the major battles is considered the best Southern memoir; Decimus et Ultimus Barziza from Virginia, named because he was the 10th and last child in his family, who was captured and escaped.
