What became of Sam Watson the diarist in Ken Burns Civil War?
He went back home to Tennessee after being only 1 of 7 survivors in his regiment that had lived to the end. He wrote a book, the best book I've ever read on the civil war, called "Co. Aytch". Many quotes were pulled from this book to use in the Burns film. I highly suggest it's reading.

Who said more fresh horses and whiskey for your men?
General George Washington said something to that effect in 1777the after the fierce fighting at the Battle of Brandywine. I believe the quote was more like "More whiskey and fresh horses for my men.". It was meant to boost morale.Where I heard that quote, it was related by historian Shelby Foote in Ken Burns' Civil War documentary (1990). Foote was (he said) quoting irascible Confederate cavalryman Nathan Bedford Forrest. The story went that Forrest and his exhausted men came in from a long patrol and someone asked, "General, what do you need?" Forrest grittily replied, "More whiskey! And fresh horses for my men!"

Why were some historians critical of the Ken Burns TV documentary on the US Civil War?
Many historians and regular television viewers were impressed with the Ken Burns documentary film about the US Civil War. One criticism of the film was that it was high on art and entertainment but lacked the coverage of the Trans-Mississippi part of the war. They also believe that more accuracy and military issues could have been placed into the film in order to present a better view of the war for people who's knowledge of it was not very deep. The same has been said about the book that that was published which highlighted the film's information.
