HORSES OF GETTYSBURG celebrates the forgotten equine heroes of the Civil War. Narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell, director of the epic films Gettysburgand Gods and Generals, the documentary vividly captures the relationship forged between Union and Confederate soldiers and their horses. Filmed in High Definition, HORSES OF GETTYSBURG uses scenes of charging horses, period illustrations and photographs, and battlefield panoramas to tell the story of the 72,000 military horses and supply-carrying mules employed by both the North and South during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 and throughout the Civil War.
