The Most Dramatic Civil War Letter You’ve Never Read

In what might be the most historically inaccurate yet emotionally honest Civil War letter ever written, “Did I Leave the Oven On?” delivers full Ken Burns drama to a timeless domestic crisis. Through sepia stills, somber violin, and a deeply relatable sense of creeping dread, one soldier’s 1863 oven paranoia becomes a short film for the ages. If you’ve ever questioned your memory mid-commute or stared into the void wondering about appliances, this is for you.
