In the following image wounded soldiers are taken to the
Manor House. (In this film the Manor House was used as a field
hospital after the 1st Battle of Manassas.)
Note: This film used the state-of-the-art
digital effects to historically enhance the film and reduce
the resourses used. In this scene the Manor House's roof dormers
are digitally removed and an extra fireplace is added on each
end of the main portion of the house. For more information
