 Tim I had to be in front of the Tv for Centennial and Roots .  For what ever reason I did not watch the Ken Burns series when it was first telecast.  Since then I have seen it several times and own a copy of it.  When they repeat it on television I watch it every time.  I see more each time with the added reading and visiting I do to the battlefields. 

Many people say one of three things lead them to the Civil War study.  This program by Ken Burns , Killer Angels or the Golden Book of the Civil War .  None of these had I read or seen when I first took interest.  It was driving cross country and seeing a sign that said Pea Ridge.  I was hooked. 

I do lend my copy of Ken Burns to friends who express an interest in learning about the war though.
