The Battle of Pea Ridge (2013)

It is a cold, blustery March day. The trees are still bare. Reenactors from many states gather for battle along Big Sugar Creek. This documentary takes you back in time one hundred fifty one years after the Civil War Battle of Pea Ridge. The rolling fields along the Arkansas - Missouri border are again filled with soldiers. They set up camps and cook on open fires. They pitch tents, feed their horses and clean their trusty rifles. A cold wind blows across the field but that does not stop the Federal of Confederate armies. Artillery thunders and belches fire. Blue and gray infantry cross the field on a collision course. The soldiers recreate the Battle of Pea Ridge, also known as the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern.
