Customer Reviews of Civil War Episode 5: Universe of Battle 1863
The Confederate high water mark at the Battle of Gettysburg The Battle of Gettysburg and the fall of Vicksburg mark the turning point of the Civil War in this fifth volume of Ken Burns' celebrated documentary. Those familiar with Michael Shaara's novel "The Killer Angels" or the film "Gettysburg" will find Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain featured prominently in this episode. There is also a section devoted to the Negro troops who fought for the Union during the war, contrasted with the Northern riots against Emancipation. The episode ends with the war moving from Tennessee to Georgia and, of course, Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. David McCullough's solid narration and Shelby Foote's unforgettable anecdotes continue to provide the defining voices of the documentary. The Civil War is brought alive through the use of hundreds of photographs and illustrations, textured sound effects, evocative music and the recognizable voices Jason Robards, Jr., Julie Harris and Sam Waterson. But the most memorable moments on this tape come from Daisy Turner, the 104-year-old daughter of a former slave reciting a poem about the death of a soldier.
