47 minutes 13 seconds (47:13)

Description:
General Order No. 11 mandated the depopulation of four Missouri counties, which led to the destruction of private property without hearing or compensation. Ann Raab's excavation in the Bates County area offers great potential for understanding the events which led to the order, it's destructiveness, and how survivors were able to recover.
