i agree with everything you have said. yes there will be people who will pick it apart.but i think if they have the money to fund a movie and get every thing they need for it then let them.but i cant wait either for it.i also think like you that it will bring more people to this hobby :front:

Unfortunately most young people haven't got a clue how this country was born, or care, as long as they have free minutes on their cell phone. Mabe this will help. I hope it's followed by a good DVD. Thanks for the info Onefeather. Keep makin those bags. :thumbsup:

Easy on the young people. Some of us still know our history and actually enjoy this hobby, mainly the shooting aspect myself. By the way I'm 24.

Agreed....it's all too easy to say that young people are/do this or that. My own son is 23 and gets his degree in history (education) in another month. Of course, he'd rather be producing underground hip-hop albums for a living, but that's another story entirely.

Fred Anderson also did a book to go along with the show, it is available for pre-order now at Amazon...

You are correct my friend. I appologize. There are many young people who are involved in our hobby, and the important history behind it. I don't get to many events any more, due to health problems. I made that comment based on the contact that I usually have with young people now days. Young fellas like you are the future of our hobby and our nation. Thank you for reminding me. :thumbsup:

What's encouraging is that this is not a Hollywood production, so don't look for a Mel Gibson. It looks more along the lines of a PBS/A&E/History Channel type of production. They usually pay more attention to detail.

Just hoping they stick to factual history and don't overly infer their PC attitudes into it.
