Gettysburg (1993) - Extended Version
I bought this movie as a VHS copy when it came out 20 years ago. Ted Turner owns the rights to this film. Despite this being in the American Civil War, it is estimated that 25,000 British subjects from the British North American colonies volunteered to fight on both sides. One of my ancestors from the Musquodoboit Valley of Nova Scotia, enlisted in the Confederate Army. He was lost at Fredricksburg. The 20th Maine who play a key part in this film were also made up of men from the colonies of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
