Person
Former high-school teacher Steve Cottrell is actively involved in battlefield preservation and monument projects. As a descendant of a Sixth Kansas Calvary member who served in the Indian Territory during the Civil War, he was inspired to write several books on the subject. A member of the Missouri Civil War Reenactors' Association, Cottrell has participated as an extra in battle scenes for such films as the Academy Award-winning epic motion picture Glory and the Emmy Award-winning television miniseries North and South. He also participated in the action scenes for the acclaimed National Park Service film Thunder in the Ozark, which is shown to visitors at Pea Ridge National Military Park in Arkansas. A graduate of Missouri Southern State College and Pittsburg State University, Cottrell resides in Springdale, Arkansas.
