Worthwhile watch for civil war enthusiasts

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.)
