What kind of watch this is
Ken Burns narrates a nine-episode documentary that traces the American Civil War from secession to Lincoln’s assassination. David McCullough, Sam Waterston, and Julie Harris provide additional voices for the 11-hour series. It is a long commitment for a topic that usually demands brevity. It is for people who have the patience to sit through history when it refuses to be brief.
