“I sat for Mr. Stuart and I sat for Mr. Trumbull, and the sitting was easier than these twelve hours, in which the war is neither varnished nor diminished. The men froze, the cause nearly failed, and we were saved as much by endurance as by genius. These filmmakers tell it that way, which is to say truly. Watch it with someone young.”
