Here is a video from the 1982 Battle Reenactment of Lone Jack, MO. Lone Jack is 10 miles east of Kansas City. Most people think of Lone Jack as the battle where Rooster Cogbern lost his eye (John Wayne in True Grit).
Today the Aug 1862 battlefield has been taken over by a museum and a parking lot.
We fought the reenactment on the original spot, meaning we fought right there in the parking lot.
This video was filmed by a news reporter who tried to keep the reenactors in first person.
There are several interviews, camp scenes, and finally the recreated fight.
Hope you enjoy.
I Love my memories of Lone Jack.
