Ken Burns' Civil War Series Returns September 7 to PBS

Just a reminder that the wonderful Ken Burns' series on the Civil War will return next week on PBS. It will run five consecutive nights from Monday September 7 through Friday September 11. Check your local PBS channels for the exact time. I remember watching this back in 1990 and absolutely loving it! Burns has updated it with HD technology. It is well-worth seeing if you are at all interested in the Civil War.

Thank you for the heads-up, Monetfan.  We will again watch this.  It was such a wonderful series.  Done with such sensitivity.

Did you catch his latest series, The Roosevelts?  Anything Ken Burns does is fantastic.  Thanks again.

Thank you for this information.  This is my favorite series by Ken Burns and I will absolutely tune in to see it again.  I happen to be on vacation next week, so it will work out very well. :-)

I could watch this event over and over.  Ken Burns (and his team) is an absolute genious--I love everything he does.  I, too, enjoyed the Roosevelts--really learned a lot.
