Description
American Civil War reenactments have drawn a fairly sizable following of enthusiastic participants, young and old, willing to brave the elements and expend money and resources in their efforts to duplicate the events down to the smallest recorded detail. Participants may even attend classes put on by event sponsors where they learn how to dress, cook, eat, and even "die" just as real Civil War soldiers would have. Most reenactments have anywhere from 100 to 1,000 participants, portraying either Union or Confederate infantry, artillery, or cavalry forces. Some people, though uncommon, may portray Engineers or Marines. The 135th anniversary Gettysburg reenactment (1998) is generally believed to be the most-attended reenactment, with attendance estimates ranging from 15,000[11] to over 20,000.

I can hear the calls for the drill or attack formation. The Gettysburg re-enactment is a sight to see. Talking to the re-enactors is even better. Great presentation, Marcia Lee. - Mike (V)

A very authentic, vintage feel. I guess we can't be reminded enough of history's lessons, with the hopes that some day we'll learn them . . .
