movie question

Don't know if this is the appropriate place for this, so if it needs to go somewhere else, mods please feel free to file elsewhere...

Just wondering if anyone might remember the title of a Civil War documentary. Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s there was a documentary produced, I think by the Smithsonian, which highlighted Union uniforms and equipment from their collection in the National Museum of American History. I remember watching it once, and there being a section on brogans, sack coats, etc. (It highlighted Union uniforms specifically within the Smithsonian collection.) Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank on the name of it! Just wondering if the collective memory out there recalls such a beast? I think it was a 2 volume set as I recall, but I’ve slept since then. :) I've been trying to locate a copy, and have so far been unsuccessful! The usual generic searches on Google, Amazon, and even Ebay have met with dead ends. (Of course, it would help if I could remember the name of the thing!) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Re: movie question

I recall seeing part of this documentary a long time ago. From what I can find online, it doesn't appear that any copies are for sale, nor does it seem that Roberts Video Publishing still exists. If this is true and someone is willing to briefly lend me a VHS copy, I have the equipment necessary to convert VHS to digital format, and would be glad to do so.

Re: movie question

That's the one! I had a hunch it had been out of print for some time, and might be difficult to find! Thanks so much for all the help!
