My great-grandfather fought in this war; I inherited the medal he received inscribed "For Deeltagelse I Kriegen 1864' (For Participation In The War). This war is not well known in the States, but I found and read a book about it and was fascinated to be able to watch a series hoping to learn something about what Christian experienced. As many have noted, the series was a bit melodramatic and drawn out. However for me it was a glimpse, at least, into an event that must have profoundly shaped my family history.
