I'm watching Ken Burns' Civil War doc and I'm wishing he had done one for the Revolutionary War.

This is one of the best docs he's ever done. I think I've learned more from watching this over the years than I did in school.

If what I see from Google is correct, his next projects will be follow ups to Baseball (The 10th Inning) and The Civil War. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 09:35 7

I think that was the apex of Burns's achievements. Nothing else he has done really rivals it. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 09:34 4
- you need to watch "The War" it more than rivals it -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 09:58

- The baseball one was damn good. I think the NY doc was his brother, that was excellent. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 09:37 1
  - One of my faves. Even have the soundtrack. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 09:39
