I am Hardcore civil war reenactor/ enthusiast/ collector, this is a true event, it happened in the final years of the war, the confederacy was desperate for men to guard vital supplies, the main armies were busy fighting Grant and Sherman, yes the cadets did march in formation as taught. And yes they did break Major General Franz Sigels Attack. And at a loss of only 10, thats pretty damn good for a group of kids and a rag-tag army thrown together at the last minute defense. They succeeded in keeping the Shenandoah valley from union hands as a supply for Lee's ay of Northern Virginia, I for one hold this movie in the light of Gettysburg, gods and generals, amd Andersonville
