Adam Killogg's Diary - The Production

WRITER/DIRECTOR MILTON BAGBY ON THE MAKING OF ADAM KILLOGG’S DIARY
	ON FICTION “I wanted to use a fictional character to get inside the heads of the great Civil War personalities. Killogg asks what we’d like to ask, if we could go back in time.” ON FACT “We’re careful about what we make up. Everything our generals and politicians say is based on their published statements, Official Records, writings of the time or modern scholarship.”
	LOGIC “The dialogue, if not actual, is at least logical under the circumstances. Longstreet says Hood is ‘finished for the war.’ Hood will return, but how could Longstreet even imagine such a thing just days after Hood’s horrendous amputation?” INSIDER INFORMATION “Most documentaries are too basic. We went the other way. Our program is filled with references to things like the President’s bad eye, or Rawlins, or to the lovely Mary and her diary or to Porter Alexander’s guns. That’s part of the fun of it.”
