Civil War Re-enactment!

We went to a Civil War Re-enactment. We were only able to go on the "smaller" of the two days, but we did get some pictures which I will share with you here.


The encampment.

This is an example of a tent. They tried to make everything there be from that period.



They fought young.





Every man needs his rest.







Taking pictures...the old way!











A soldier and his tent.





Showing us how the gun fires.




Looking across the battlefield.





Beginning the skirmish.




The medics assisting a soldier.



Coming back from battle.








A high ranking officer discusses the war.




The same officer with his wife.






The President with his wife!








A genteel lady.

It would have been lots of fun! Even better if we could go in period dress!
