1955 Gettysburg Film

Every now and then, I watch at least part of this old film. It reminds me of being a kid in elementary school (though not in 1955!). It's also cool to see things that have changed since then. This is part 1, and is 10 minutes long. Enjoy!

I'll say one thing, the NPS takes better care of the monuments today. Every one of the statues in that film are inundated in pigeon poop.
 
I have a similar but not as old 30-minute long documentary VHS tape from ca. 1980 of the battle and battlefield narrated by Stacy Keach featuring what was probably the very last commentary by historian Bruce Catton shortly before his death.
