Civil War Reenactment at French Bottoms

Glad the train had stopped just to the right and not in picture on this one!

The costumes were of the time. The actors put a lot of money and time in. The Man here had 15 horses and said he was going to have to retire this one. There were vendors with wares to sell from bees wax candles to dress and hats plus Salve for unmentionable places!
Union wagon train and artillery
Confederates on left and Union on right but the Union lost today but will return tomorrow with a different out come. In center back ground tents where the soldiers lived and set up the way it would have been then for people to see.
Infantry coming behind the wagon train, hate to say it they out numbered the confederates. There is that train.
Confederates stetting up their battle line.
Noise level was high 3 Confederates cannons and 4 Union and they did not just fire once!
What is a war with out a smoke ring?
The only thing missing was the whistling of a canon ball.
Union Scout is shot.

At the end the dead arose.
