I absolutely love this video, which was done as part of an application for a position with the Civil War Trust. The applicant plays off of Ken Burns’s documentary and the popular short segment featuring Sullivan Ballou’s final letter home to his wife. Good luck.

I hope he got the job.
Well, if he doesn’t get the Civil War Trust job, I’m sure another of Kevin’s blog followers will be in touch with him.
Alas, I didnt get the job. Got the interview the next morning! But flubbed it in person.
Its okay. Got a much better job in the end. Plus, it was a blast to make. Larry Cebula of Northwesthistory.blogspot.com gave me the original inspiration. One hour of late night editing and boom. Interview.
Let that be a lesson to history job seekers. Dont be afraid to be a little silly.
Thanks for linking. That was nice! Love CWM
