A vivid portrait of Vermonters during the Civil War, both on the battlefield and the home front, this historical documentary uses interviews, historic photos, re-enactments and letters to reveal the tremendous courage shown by soldiers in battle, their stalwart tolerance for poor rations and deadly illnesses, and the worry and uncertainty faced by those at home.
