10/10
A Exciting Program.

Interesting show if it is the one I remember.

I seem to remember this programs episodes including one about the submarine Hunley. That show began with a scene where the Hunley had been raised from the depths after it sank on a test. A hand was scene to be pulled out of the opened hatch. One of the dead was Hunley himself. Then there was a scene where(I think)Gen Beauregard is seen convincing another officer to become his replacement.

This show did have a stirring theme song with a American Flag flying in the background during part of the opening. I think I recall the Wild Bill episode as well. There was another where a Doctor was inoculating children for small pox and, after a controversy, is invited to do the same for President Thomas Jefferson.

I may have to edit this later after I check the series history but these are my first impressions.

This show was a favorite of mine back when Kennedy was President and we in Massachusetts were all feeling very patriotic.
