"Having watched your recent documentary-drama on the Battle of the Wilderness, you’re to be complimented on your artistic emphasis. Yes, battlefield tactics, which unit was where when, how they were deployed - the map of the battle so to speak - is both important and intriguing. But without knowing the individual people involved it can remain a fascinating abstraction. Your work already shows this understanding - which is the foundation for everything else."
- Ronald F. Maxwell, Director of "Gettysburg," & "Gods & Generals"

“I feel like l'm watching something out of a time warp right here and it's astonishing & amazing”
- Richard Parker

“VERY well done, lad! Energetically and faultlessly performed with self-assured sincerity, verve, and complete confidence!!"

Gettysburg PA-

Lt. Charles E. Hazlett graduated from West Point in the May class of 1861. At age 24, he was shot in the head and killed near this spot.

General G. K. Warren would recall, "No nobler man fought or fell that day than he."

Hazlett is buried in his hometown of Zanesville, Ohio.
