American Civil War Field Battle - Southeast Missouri - Part 1

Part 1 of a long field battle.
Please watch in HD with full screen if your internet can handle it. I am sorry that my camera doesn't zoom in, but it does make high quality picture.

The Union troops started on the defensive, while the Confederates advanced.
By the end of Part 1, the Rebels had reached the Federal's first line of defense.
To top it all off, the North is on the northern side of the field, while the South is on the south side.
