Lewis Douglass was a survivor and moved on to become a Sergeant Major of the regiment. -Thanks to Billy Montana and TheresaIn real life, Robert Gould Shaw, said he would pick up the flag and carry on during the assault on Fort Wagner. The 54th went on to gain more "Glory" by saving the Union Army at the Battle of Olustee, they also were the first Union Soldiers into Charleston in 1865. The Fort was never taken... the south abandoned it. They ran out of supplies and just left.

 Featured Movie Location: The Parade StreetWanna see the real life filming location used for The Parade Street in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at River Street, located in Savannah, Georgia. [New! Show Google Map] The off-to-war scenes used the east end of River Street. The opening Battle of Antietam and the hospital Scenes were shot at McDonough,Georgia and further Battle of Antietam Scenes were shot at Olustee Battlefield State Historic Site, Olustee, Florida. Recruiting Speech by Col. Shaw Scenes was filmed at West Jones Street (1 Block west of Mrs. Wilkes House), in Savannah, Georgia. The Entire Training Camp (Readville, Massachusetts) Scenes were shot at Roundhouse Railroad Museum in Savannah, Georgia. For the Plantation Encampment scenes, the Meeks Home (an original plantation home which existed when General Sherman's troops marched on Fort McAllister)in Richmond Hill, Georgia was used. Darien Burning Scenes were filmed west of Savannah, off I-16 to the south (Uncertain of exact location, but it was a farm just off a county highway). The Skirmish of James Island used Rose Dhu Island, Savannah, Georgia. The battle of Fort Wagner was shot on Jekyll Island, 60 miles south of Savannah, Georgia. [Our eternal thanks to John Guss, who served as the standin for Cary Elwes and hand double for Matthew Broderick throughout the entire movie of Glory, for all the above locations information] The field in McDonough, Georgia used for the battle scenes is now where the Kroger shopping center and Wesley Lakes subdivision on Jonesboro Road are located. Industrial Boulevard splits the location in two. Several of my friends had jobs working on the prop cannons. [Thanks to Reid Burch] The scene in which Mathew Broderick and Denzel Washington are talking after the James Island battle was actually filmed on the north end of Jekyll Island, Georgia, not behind a Beaufort motel as some have suggested. [Thanks to John Guss] Can you help? Do you know any of the Savannah, Georgia (or any other) filming locations used for Glory? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||
