I do not know. I wasn't on the set of that one. Had lots of friends who were but I dunno. Being John Milius was involved they have ways of finding lots of stuff out there. I imagine it was the real thing. The guy who was in charge of the Reenactors also had a vast network of resources. All types cavalry, artillery, infantry, etc. He was a great guy! He died of a massive heart attack after one of the big productions. Gods and Generals Mebbe??? Can't remember. He was a heck of a guy!!! He had two scenes in flicks. One was he was the officer that brought the msg to Gene Hackman at the dance in Geronimo and he was the army officer who started the land rush in "Far And Away".
