It starts with research.

Kent Moorhead is good at research. He knows his way around both the LIbrary of Congress and the National Archives in Washington, as well as regional libraries and archives. He also uses the Official Records of the Rebellion, as well as diaries, letters and other first-hand resources. And he consults the established research and books about the battle or subjects for which he is making the film.
