Cilvil War Re-enactment—The Battle

Here are a few scenes after the battle ended.

Cilvil War Re-enactment—The Battle

Twice daily during the re-enactment week-end they have a battle. The guns are loaded with black powder.


Each side lined up on the field, not having anything for cover.


The bugle actually helps direct the action down the field.


As did the drummer boys.


During the first stage of the battle, the north advanced. But from out of the wood work, the confederate army began to push back.

I asked if they knew who would die on the field during the battle. They don't know. They die in battle when they make eye-contact with the other side and there is no powder in the gun.


The north retreated as the confederate army advanced.


But not without firing off a few more rounds.


We didn't stick around to see who won the next battle.


I have one more batch of pics to post from this re-enactment.

Civil War Camp

A few weeks ago we went to a Civil War Re-enactment. To say the least, we had a blast. The actors were fabulous and so friendly.

For the entire week-end, they live, eat and sleep as if it were the 1860's.


Entire families were there. The clothes were amazing. I don't see myself in a dress full time.


There was a pair of young boys chopping wood.




Guns were prepared for the war re-enactment.


Another young girl was writing with quill pens.


An entire tent city had sprung up. These tents were part of the confederate army.
