  I have been a student of the civil war my entire life but was never able to attend college. I love listening to these documentaries because they are as close to being in a lecture hall as I’ll ever get. <br>My youngest son however is studying history in college and perhaps some day before I die I’ll be able to hear him deliver a wonderful lecture such as this one!

  This is the best way I can hear someone break down all the things about the Battle Of Sailor&apos;s Creek.

  I used to be a park Ranger at Sailors Creek State Park. &nbsp;Very Sacred place.

  I have visited Sailor&apos;s Creek twice. I wish I could have heard this lecture before I visited there, it made everything much more understandable! I live in NE Ohio and visited so many of these locations when I visited there. Thank you for a great program!

  Breaks my heart thinking of how many good people we all lost during these times. My family has been here since the very beginning of the colonies. North and south.

  I’ve been at this battlefield and it is still in good shape. As he explains I can envision what he is talking about.

  Ranger John Heiser was really good. À mixture of hard facts and interesting stories of the people who fought at Sailors Creek.

  My great granddaddy (17th Maine) had a hand in hitting that wagon train at Locketts Farm. He found a locket with a picture of somebody&apos;s wife in an officers trunk. He was going to take it but hesitated, and couldn&apos;t bring himself to do it and so put it back. &quot;I wondered from time to time whatever happened to that fellah over the years,&quot; he passed down to us.<br><br>I spent a good half hour speaking to old Mr. Lockett when I visited and parked at the turn out across the road from the house. Wonderful people, great family keepers of the place.

  Just finishing up Shelby Footes&apos; one million word &quot;The Civil War,&quot; and finding this wonderful lecture perfect for gaining a deeper understanding of this battle. &nbsp;I am so grateful.
