Indulge us with the new perspective. I thought the program was a different presentation albeit the same disjointed effort as others. Thank goodness they didn't mention Chamberlan and Roundtop. They came close to letting the viewers know that there were 2 other divisions involved with the Pickett-Pettigrew- Trimble charge but alas no. It appeared that just as the confederate infantry climbed the emmitsburg road fence the union soldiers were only a few yards away which wasn't the case. I just wish when they do historical shows they could at least be accurate in their presentation. I give them credit for mentioning Culps Hill but what about the myriad other events mentioned by Javal. If the program piqued the general publics interest to learn more then it was a success. There is an easy way to learn the flow of the 3 days - read Coddingtons' or Pfanzs' books.
