The 1st Minnesota Volunteer Regiment was in the Battle of Gettysburg, with over 200 soldiers killed or wounded (82% casualties). According to an AP article posted at the Lacrossetribune.com website, the soldiers bought time for Union troops, who eventually won the fight. Now film makers, with Bills Semans as the director, are looking for some $750,000 in Minnesota state funds to help produce a documentary. The group has raised over $100,000 for story research and development, but much more is needed.
