General Trimble was shot in his leg. I don't recall ever reading that he was shot in the hand, anyway this was a great scene. It adds to the sorrow of the story. Why did they remove it from the movie?

@SouthernPacific8984 Maybe he grabbed his leg with his hand. Anyway, you can see these very gloves at Sweeney's Tavern at Farnsworth's in Gettysburg.

The soundtrack for this movie is incredible!

If only the South had just one Tiger tank...just one. They would of easily taken that ridge.

@SouthernPacific8984 I think it might have been it was the closest to uneeded they had when they were deleting scenes

Many thanks for sharing these deleted scenes. This is my favourite film and I've never seen them, so thanks again!

@rob9641 It's prob. there so we can see that he's wounded without going to another camera shot of his leg bleeding.

Re: the accents, oddly enough English and Australian actors are fairly popular for playing Southerners. The most recognisable American accents (ie that we hear in the media most) on the East Coast and California tend to be from the back of the mouth, whereas a Southern accent is more from the front of the mouth and slightly nasal, like the various British accents. (But there's an awful lot of drawl to master of course..)

ciao ragazzi sono un grande appassionato della guerra civile americana e soprattutto di questo film, ma sono italiano e non riesco a capire questa scena. Potete gentilmente dirmi cosa dice il Gen.Trimble? grazie

Find you guys discussing the various accents very interesting as something I'd never thought anyone would be too bothered with. In the U.K. there are many regional accents and within small areas.

These are two fantastic films that I watch now and again. Shame the 3rd was never made. One day I'd love to visit the Civil War sites especially Gettysburg.

@rob9641 I don't think Sam Elliott's accent is off at all. He is from California, but he seems to talk like that anyway in real life. It's old time western, I suppose. I love Tom Berenger, he is a great actor and did as well as he could with the accent but I hear his northern accent all over the place. I love Lang too but he is better with the more generic one (Avatar) than the Virginia one he tried here and as Jackson. Sheen flunks the accent but I still prefer his Lee. :-) Just my opinion.

@stellalouise1 Just curious - what would you say was off about Sam Elliott's Kentucky accent? Or any of the others if you care to comment.
