Our public TV channel here in SC has made some very good
documentary-type shows about the history here, and the second war of
independence and how the people in various parts of the state conducted
themselves. One of them had a good part being an interview with SF
based on his books, he was extremely interesting and a character
himself. I don't remember which show it was, but they tend to show them
every now and then, and I think you can stream them off their web site.
If I see it again I will post it.
You might want to look up Dr. Walter Edgar, he is a prof who has written
a lot on the history of SC, and has a radio show every Friday on the
public radio, usually an interview of someone who has written a history
of some aspect of SC, the war and whatever else. He spoke at an event I
went to last fall, he seemed a bit scattered but his talk was still
interesting. You can get the podcasts if you want to listen to them, or
stream it live.

Last week's was pretty good
Dr. Heather Andrea Williams of Pennsylvania State University joins Dr.
Walter Edgar for another "Conversation on the Civil War, 1865." The
subject: emancipation and freedom. Williams is one of the world’s
leading historians of the experience of slavery in the 19th century. Her
award-winning first book, /Self-Taught: African-American Education in
Slavery and Freedom/ (University of North Carolina Press, 2005), argued
that education was inseparable from the fight against slavery.
This Friday is about the sonofabitch General Sherman
In his book, /Sherman: A Soldier’s Passion for Order/ (Free Press, 1992)
John F. Marszalek presents general William Tecumseh Sherman as a
complicated man who, fearing anarchy, searched for the order that he
hoped would make his life a success. Dr. Marszalek talks with Dr. Edgar
about Sherman as a military commander who came to abhor what he saw as
the senseless slaughter of the War, and who sought a different strategy
to bring the South to surrender.

I’ve been searching around in the barn loft looking for my Shelby Foote
trilogy. I;ve read it twice, and I’m thinking now is the time for the third go
around. If any of you have not read this, it’s a masterpiece about the Civil
War.
