even for a 17 year old student who love history and caught glimpse of emotion and excitement in his childhood year of this series and it come to dvd be a blessing for all time . north and south truly be a series about friendship and love and honor . you name your own list of feeling you get from watch this series . i can still remember the first time i catch a glimpse of this series on tv when i be about 8 year old . i though wow this look excite . to bad i never have the chance to see book one and two on tv in the netherlands . when book three be broad cast a a late evening series in the netherlands in the summer of 2004 i just know i have to see the other two series . to most people book three be a big disappointment as far a i know . well since i have see book one on dvd and i must say that until now it be the best of the entire 3 book . to all youngster who just watch the fancy movie like the patriot oh america for freedom there be a more realistic view to see for them here .
