This features some decent actors. Tom Skerritt plays Ulysses S. Grant, Jason Isaacs plays John C. Breckenridge, and David Arquette plays Henry DuPont. Lauren Holly also stars.

Field of Lost Shoes is about the VMI Cadets and their stubborn fight at the Battle of New Market in 1864.

Will watch.


Wish HBO would do a miniseries, similar to North and South, but with, you know, HBO miniseries stuff.

I've been to the battlefield! The cadets captured 2 cannon.

Then the rest of the union army showed up & burned the school down.

Looks like it's not afraid to address the morality of fighting for slavery / state's rights issue. Which I think is good, I feel that a lot of Civil War movies just ignore that issue.

I have gotten to the point that the crap hollywood puts out, I will take a historical movie that has some minor flaws.
