REVIEW QUOTES:
"Once every blue moon the fortunate reviewer happens upon a tape that sets the standard for its kind. Gettysburg Battlefield Tour is one such video...tight editing, top-notch cinematography, and skillful scriptwriting have brought Gettysburg's cold statuary and dormant cannon to life..."
Video Choice
"Russ Finley's superb cinematography highlights this blow-by-blow account of the decisive battle of the Civil War. Monuments, statues, even fields seem to come alive as the exciting narration and excellent sound effects re-enact the three day battle. An excellent program, well scripted, and beautifully photographed. Highly recommended."
