Nope.....He was concerned with the accuracy of Ken Burns facts...


Dr. Robertson thought Ken Burns made 35 factual misstatements in the first 30 minutes of the first episode. I heard him speak to an Alumni Group in Houston at Tree Beards downtown back in 1996 or 1997. He didn't like Berringer's (Longstreet's) beard in "Gettysburg". Especially didn't like Martin Sheen playing REL. He is a little bit opinionated and some cases rightfully so.
