twwilson-1 I remember seeing this series and liking it though I don't remember a lot of the content. One scene I do recall was an officer sitting on a horse writing a dispatch and asking another character how to spell "pizen" and when he said poison the officer asked incredulously " p-O-i"?!As I recall it was a well done series. I was just starting out as a re-enactor during the centennial and getting a uniform and attended my first reenactment that year at Phillipi, WV in June, after the last episode of the series had been shown in May. It would be nice if the series is released on DVD for the sesquicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the series.

PontiacGTO17 I loved this show when I was a kid, and I remember being very disappointed when it was taken off the air. I remember that it was a gripping drama, and that it held my attention even though I was very young at the time and not too interested in anything other than comedies and cartoons. I also remember my mother complaining once that it was too violent, so maybe this had something to do with its appeal. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to have made much of an impression on anyone else, because I've never met anyone else who even remembers it, so I'm glad to see so many positive reviews of the show here. I would love to see this show again. It must have been a good show, because I haven't forgotten it in 44 years, and I was only 6 or 7 years old when it aired.

mattie5 I agree with the other respondents that this series, brief as it was, presented a moving and personal portrayal of the Civil War. I have wondered often why it has not been reshown on TV. The brother-against-brother theme was so poignant, and has continued to affect my views of any war.The two stars, Darryl Hickman and Dick Davalos, were perfect in their roles. I have always been impressed with the performances of Mr. Hickman, in particular, since his days as a child actor.

random_ax I was beginning to think I imagined this show. I'm 47 and my older brothers and I have all recalled seeing a TV series where two brothers were on opposite sides of the American Civil War. We had thought it was called RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG but could never find any mention of it in TV reference books. I don't recall toomuch about the show but yes, it would be a good show for some enterprising TV producer to re-do.
