Gritty & Cold As The Civil War Itself

Okay, I kept waiting for the little "Gem" that other reviewers promised was in this video, but I must not be sharp as others because I never caught what that was! Regardless my main reason for viewing this piece is mainly due to my being a fan of Clarkson's work. This film itself is supposedly "inspired by true events", but during the horrors of the civil war, there were probably many stories similar to this one! Also, it's a bit on the slow side if you are looking for lots of gun fighting action, but then you remember (like I did), that this truly happened & that's what makes it worth watching.

Trivia
Original story took place at Meshack's Creek, Kentucky, in 1862; the town no longer exists. Tompkinsville is the nearest town officially recognized by the US Postal Service, roughly 6 miles to the west of the creek. The general area (Cumberland Gap), during the Civil War, experienced some of the most brutal clashes of the war; not only battles, but brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor.

Goofs
If the dead chickens had already begun to smell then it's likely that eating them would not have been a good idea.
