Default Has Anyone Seen Peckinpah's "Major Dundee"?

Scanning newly-released (or re-released) DVDs, I came across a 1965 movie by Sam Peckinpah entitled "Major Dundee", which seems to be a western set during the Civil-War era. I've never heard of it, but I'm intrigued -- "The Wild Bunch" remains one of my favorites of all time. Has anyone seen this one?

Elektratig & RebAl:

I have seen "The Wild Bunch" but not "Major Dundee" - thanks for the recommendation. I am an aficionado of the Western, and my favourite still, although it's not Civil War related, is Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West." That one I do have!
