(3.14 / 7 votes)EXT. BATTLEFIELD, JENKINS' FERRY, ARKANSAS - DAY
Heavy grey skies hang over a flooded field, the water two
feet deep. Cannons and carts, half-submerged and tilted,
their wheels trapped in the mud below the surface, are still
yoked to dead and dying horses and oxen.
A terrible battle is taking place; two infantry companies,
Negro Union soldiers and white Confederate soldiers, knee-
deep in the water, staggering because of the mud beneath,
fight each other hand-to-hand, with rifles, bayonets,
pistols, knives and fists. There's no discipline or strategy,
nothing depersonalized: it's mayhem and each side intensely
hates the other. Both have resolved to take no prisoners.
HAROLD GREEN (V.O.)
Some of us was in the Second Kansas
Colored. We fought the rebs at
Jenkins' Ferry last April, just
after they'd killed every Negro
soldier they captured at Poison
Springs.
EXT. PARADE GROUNDS ADJACENT TO THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD,
ANACOSTIA RIVER - NIGHT
Rain and fog. Union Army companies are camped out across the
grounds. Preparations are being made for the impending
assault on the Confederate port of Wilmington, North
