Gettysburg the Movie: Fact or Fiction?

On this 30th Anniversary of the film "Gettysburg", the crew of Mark's game room (And a special guest from Little Wars TV!) celebrate by asking Historian and Battle of Gettysburg podcast host Eric Lindblade questions about the movie Gettysburg! Did Buford's cavalry hold up the Confederates by fighting tooth and nail against a fence? Did the charge down Little Round Top happen as depicted? Join us for the answers to all these and more!
