My mother, belatedly, informed me that a crew from the History Channel was filming at a local (Leavenworth, KS) museum this week. She has been involved with this museum for years and was onhand to help setup, find props, etc. Naturally (sigh) she could not remember the names of anyone working on the program (some local, some from Los Angeles) but thought it was about women who had fought in the Civil War. They were to be filming battle scenes at another site in Kansas this week.
She did remember it was for the History Channel and I was wondering if it might be for their Civil War Classroom series. Anyone familiar with this? Now when she said "History Channel" I kind of cringed because I think we have all seen how hit and miss their authenticity can be. She was impressed with the woman she was working with however. The lady had brought her own box of period linens to use if neccessary, and questioned several of the background props, like a clock, to be sure they were appropriate for the period. How much of this will end up in the final cut is anyone's guess.
