Thanks to Laurie Verge -- went this afternoon with some friends to see the new Civil War movie, Copperhead -
This is a wonderful and masterfully made movie -- a "hidden jewel" in film making....
Yes, it's about the Civil War and yes, it's about the civilians who stayed at home and "fought" this war - told principally from the Northern viewpoint. Without showing one single battle scene - this brilliant human interest story brings it's point across with poignant effect....please, please support and see this movie if it's showing near you !

The movie is actually based on an 1893 novel Copperhead by Harold Frederick. You can download an eBook version of it here:
