Re: History Detective's Sherman's march route
Anyone else catch that the lady said "Confederate commander Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House in Northern Virginia." Errata folks: Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia in SOUTHERN Virginia.
Anyway, this was pretty cool (glad the website allowed me to watch it).Sincerely,

I watched this on the web site first then watched it on PBS locally. FWIW, if you caught the web version it was the same that aired last night on PBS's "History Detectives"![FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=3]Michael Phillips, GGG Grandson of

Re: History Detective's Sherman's march route
Also (sorry for the nitpickiness), did you notice this line? The narrator says in the first minute or two, "In less than 12 hours, Sherman's men will cross the river and bring destuction to the birthplace of the SUCCESSIONIST South?"Originally posted by Emmanuel Dabney View PostJoe Marti

I hate it when I hear that word as it used in place of secession. I also found myself watching most of the other episodes on the PBS site.Originally posted by mtvernon View Post[B][FONT="Georgia"][I]P. L. Parault[/I][/FONT][/B][FONT="Book Antiqua"][/FONT]
