"Augustus Saint-Gaudens: Master of American Sculpture" is a new PBS feature documentary film by Paul G. Sanderson III on the life and work of the great American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907).
Trained in Paris and Rome, Saint-Gaudens is considered Americas premier sculptor of the 19th and early 20th centuries and created many of the public monuments honoring Civil War heroes in major cities throughout the United States. The story of his personal life is woven around in-depth studies of six of his major works of art including the intensely moving Shaw Memorial on Boston Common (which inspired the film Glory), which is featured in this excerpt.
The film will be broadcast on National PBS at 10pm on December 27, 2009 with an advance showing on WNET/Thirteen (New York metropolitan area) at 1:45pm on September 13, 2009 part of their SundayArts series. The film is also available at PBS Home Video. The documentary is a production of Our Town Films, Inc. and the Saint-Gaudens Memorial with assistance from the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, the home, studios and gardens of the sculptor now a national park in New Hampshire.

Calling those soldiers 'African-American' is insulting. They were more American than the guy narrating.
