"People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum, and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy."

- G.K. Chesterton
The Civil War in Four Minutes

I find this amazing and very well done (of course, I'm a bit of a Civil War buff).

It's sobering to see those casualty figures rack up.

Last week, I finished listening to "Don't Know Much About the Civil War" audio book. It was pretty good at giving both the political and military perspectives. So many people lost in short periods of time (10,000's in hours or days). This four minute clip was very well done.
