Good Morning;

My name is Hank, I own Big Gun Productions based in Keokuk, Iowa.

Currently we are working on a documentary for the offices of tourism in Keokuk, Iowa and Bentonville, Arkansas.

Entitled: Elkhorn "Benton County at War"

It is about the Battle of Pea Ridge re-enactments and why our American History is important.

I am in post-production on "Elkhorn" I filmed here in Keokuk last April at the 20th anniversary re-enactment and was able to come to Bentonville to film during the 145th anniversary of The Battle of Pea Ridge re-enactment as well.

I am looking for copies of letters and photos from troops (both North and South) that talk about the Pea Ridge Campaign to use in the project and also I am looking for some extra footage that I can add to this project.

Does anyone have some good quality footage of the Battles closeup?

As this project is being done "pro-bono" I can only give a credit on the ending credits to those who can help.

This year the Keokuk re-enactment is April 25 - 27, 2008

in Rand Park in Keokuk, Iowa.

check out their web site for details.

Hope to see some of you here.

For information on this project please feel free to visit our web site listed below.

Also we are making plans to shoot a feature entitled:

"Up Telegraph Road"

about the events that led up to the Battle, the Battle itself and the aftermath.

We will be filming at Pea Ridge National Park and around the Bentonville area.

Please note:

(We are only in the talking stages at this point)

Thank you.
