Garry Adelman, a historian, rates nine American Civil War battles in movies.

He comments on the Civil War-era artillery and rifles on display in “Free State of Jones” (2016), starring Matthew McConaughey; and “Emancipation” (2022), starring Will Smith. He explains the use of dynamite and other explosives seen in “Cold Mountain” (2003), starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Renée Zellweger; “Sahara” (2005), starring Matthew McConaughey; and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1967), starring Clint Eastwood. He breaks down the military strategy seen in the battle scenes in “Glory” (1989), starring Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington; “Gettysburg” (1993), starring Jeff Daniels; and Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” (2012), starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, and Tommy Lee Jones. And finally, he separates fact from fiction regarding Civil War-era surgeries as seen in “Dances with Wolves” (1990), starring Kevin Costner.

Adelman is the chief historian at the American Battlefield Trust. He has also been a licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park for 27 years.
