In the Houston area we have a cable channel called Story Television which apparently bought many old episodes from the History Channel (History = Story). I record many of these series and particularly like the Civil War. Even though their series on the Civil War was made 31 years ago, I learned a great deal. I found this episode especially interesting primarily because I have a friend whose son will be graduating from West Point in 2025. . I never gave much thought about WP graduates knowing each other in the Civil War. Never knew William Armstrong Custer crossed Confederate lines to attend the wedding of a WP friend, or that WP friends - one from the North and one from the South - sat at the bedside of a mortally wounded WP friend until he died. Such examples humanized this horrible war which divided our country. These men were trained to be warriors but on the way, they became friends.
