Multi-faceted Luthin is often the

historic accuracy of the equipment
or costumes being used. Some of the
productions he has been involved in
are, “Gods and Generals”, “Glory”,
The “John Adams” mini-series, “Into
the West”, “Gettysburg”, “Cold

as well as the horse Daniel Day
Lewis rode in the movie “Lincoln”.

slides from many of these movies, as
well as movie posters, and the
behind the scenes stories.
