| Description: | Sham battle continues; more LSs of soldiers on knees firing into cloud of smoke in which one catches vague glimpses of the Indians. LS The soldiers enact some dramatic battlefield heroics and deaths; other individuals don't show such theatrical inclinations and can be seen calmly walking or standing about. The Indians make a great charge, succeeding in getting most of the way across the stadium (toward cam). A group of soldiers pop up in FG - -CU as they affix their bayonets, advance, all fire their weapons and then charge, chasing the Indians across the field. After this there's a bit with guys on horses and more guns firing but doesn't seem to be part of the battle. Then again the rest of it seemed almost as unfod Then all of the participants leave the field. | |
