I'm a history nerd as well as a fantasy dork. These are some of my favorite historical films and series.

Gettysburg - The Killer Angels

The books were written by Michael Shaara and his son Jeff. Michael Shaara wrote “The Killter Angels” which won the Pulitzer Prize and is the basis of the TNT 2-part miniseries, Gettysburg. I absolutely adore both the book and the miniseries. Everything about the miniseries was awesome. It was filmed on location at Gettysburg (at the time the only film that had ever done so). The music is just beautiful! The casting and actors are A list across the board. I HIGHLY recommend watching this.
All three of these novels were thoroughly researched through the first hand accounts of the men and women who lived it.

The epic 10 part HBO miniseries. Just like Gettysburg, everything about this miniseries was awesome. I could watch it again and again. I love just listening to the music.
