Forrest-Ken Burns

I don't know which chapter it was of Ken Burns' Civil War I saw last night, but the part that stuck in my craw was the report of the "massacre" at Fort Pillow. It was totally one sided, with no mention of there even being two sides. The only quote they had was of a black tankee soldier who was supposedly shot in the face and arm after he surrendered. He said the Confederate who captured him first asked him to hold his horse, then said he could hold his own horse and shoot the yankee. Do we want to beat this "horse" any more? Stan
