A Little Civil War Insanity on a Sunday
Thanks again to Mike’s Civil War Musings for providing additional fodder for consideration. Ron Maxwell breaks new ground in better understanding our Civil War with his film “Horses of Gettysburg.” From the press release: “The film celebrates the honor and courage of the 72,000 horses and mules that fought in the battle. Bussler says, ‘It appeals to anyone who is passionate about horses or wants to learn more about the Civil War and American History.’” I’m not sure what to make of it except to say that it is the clearest example of anthropomorphism that I’ve ever come across.
How about a counterfactual involving the horses that leads to a Confederate victory?
