I first saw the series 25+ years ago on PBS, made some VHS copies and have viewed most of them a second time. With the Anniversary edition and my reading about the CW I am better acquainted with the history of the CW personae and the content of the series. Another viewing will involve more notes and further choices for reading, especially of soldiers and lesser characters. The series is worthy of a place in the library of any CW student. One difficulty is the absence in disc #2 of Session #3. It could not be lo0cated during the first viewing nor in a recent review of the disc. the search for Session #3 continually is a replay of Session #2, regardless of the manipulations. Session #3 does not exist! Any further comments would be personal from my own perspective.

The CDs do not look good on a large screen TV format. Not sure why this is. The sound needs to be adjusted to hear it. Much like a double line thing visually for the index,chapters. Using the laptop computer to reflect onto the TV screen produced a much better result. Buy at your own risk this set "fully restored". Perhaps just old footage meant for the older TVs with smaller screens.

I have wanted this set of DVD's for quite sometime and I refused to pay $65 on the PBS website for them. This came in factory sealed, perfect condition. I ordered this set because it is a part of history that they are trying to hide from the young and I want my grandson to know what his ancestors went through, fought for and died for. It may be quite a few years before he is ready to watch this but it makes me feel good to know that he will know more about history than he is being taught in the school systems. God Bless America!

I cannot say enough about how Ken Burns knocked this subject of our U.S. Civil War out of the park. I would also suggest buying the companion book that really compliments the dvds . Together they make for a single source to give you a very good basis of understanding the Civil War.

I had originally taped from TV years ago and had some missing. I haven't had time to watch all of it but the quality is far superior than taping it on TV and I always love having captions. Can't wait to watch some of the special features. Colors and pictures are very sharp! Never heard before of them mentioning and covering the Battle of Chickamauga, my Great, Great Grandfather was in.
