if youre even mildly interested in the war between the state and this film be worth watch . it be great historical story tell . no flashing sabre and no cavalry charge and no carnage just the story of a sorry group of union soldier stumble into the farm of a confederate woman and her son and take as much a their captain conscience allow . this quantity move up and down a event unfold affect his sense of humanity in conflict with his sense of duty to his men and his cause . ultimately and he reach a compromise that any of u would be hard put to top . i appreciate the historical treatment of the war in kentucky and a slave state that try to stay neutral but eventually opt to remain in the union under mysterious political circumstance involve the detention of certain legislator . roughly half the soldier from kentucky fought for each side and but there never be much treatment of what it be like to have live there through those time . this film make a great contribution simply in the look and feel of the time and place .
