I didn't know it was based on a true story. Neat. I love movies based on real history.
Sowing salt over the fields where he died reminds me of
Hannibal. The ancient Romans did that to his home Carthaginian (sp?) fields (although I don't think that's where he died.) I've always liked the name
Hannibal as well. Darn that stupid movie for ruining it for a generation.
Sorry if I'm getting off topic here.
