I had already developed an interest in the US Civil War - my family was on both sides of the conflict - and my family often visited Civil War battlefields from our home in Western Pennsylvania. I was 9 years old and immediately latched on to this brief TV show which I thought was fantastic. I was very disappointed that it was gone after a season and was my first introduction into how fickle the networks could be -- up until then I though TV shows always lasted for years. To this day I never understood why they cancelled the program. For some odd reason I remember the artwork always portrayed in the opening of each show plus the theme song -- both lost to time and memory I suppose.
