"This dynamite program provides another welcome, personal glimpse into the people involved in America's darkest hours."
"Few other programs humanize the events at this level."
"All library collections will want to purchase this moving series." - Library Journal

"This second set of CIVIL WAR MINUTES follows the excellent original set of four. There is much to hold the interest of any student of the Civil War, North or South. Michael Kraus and company has produced another outstanding visual teaching tool for all students of the Civil War." - Steven E. Woodworth, North and South Magazine

"The story of the Civil War takes on a new interest when students can see actual items used bysoldiers [presented in the video]. Classroom teachers can utilize the video to supplement other learning activities."
- Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College for School Library Journal

"These videos are particularly important for the classroom. The subjects are basic enough to appeal to younger enthusiasts, yet also offer sufficient depth to appeal to someone who wants to know more."
- Les Jensen, Curator, U.S. Military Academy, West Point for Americas Civil War Magazine

"Great information all around, and excellent artifacts shown here." - Eric Renshaw, CurledUpDVD.com

"An incredibly thorough examination of the minutiae of a conflict that is arguably the darkest period in United States history."
"A veritable gold mine of low-level detail." - Needcoffee.com DVD Review

"Far exceeds anything done on television as it's not vague or bland. I can't wait for the next Kraus production and highly recommend this set! 5 STARS!!!!!"  - review on amazon.com
