Ken Burns part 1

First installment of Ken Burns' Civil War documentary. This is the start of my trip, I think. Last week I started trying to read the Military History of the Civil War, but the text is old and I can't follow it without some background. So I started on Ken Burns. And I learned my first new fact. A man named Wilmer McLean owned a farm in Manasses, Virginia, where the First Battle of Bull Run was fought on his property. He moved his family South to Appomattox County, where, four years later, Lee surrendered to Grant in McLean's living room. Ok. I'm ready to get ready for this thing.
