Yes - although they did truncate "Gods and Generals" quite a bit - for obvious reasons since the focus was Stonewall Jackson. The VMI museum in Lexington, Virginia has on display the slicker Jackson was wearing when he got shot. Wonder if Ted Turner has any plans to complete the trilogy? The books are excellent.
