This film is primarily narrated reenactment, supplemented by things like snippets from the diaries of those who fought and writings of those who survived the war. Animated maps too; helpful for those of us not familiar with the area. The film starts with the buildup of Missouri militarily as the war got rolling, and ties in to the so-called border war recently fought in the area. Things firm up and ultimately lead to the battle itself, the second major battle of the war itself. I thought they did a very good job, especially the reenactors (who were probably glad to do it.)
