Re: Helping a friend.

A monument erected at Gettysburg for my home state, It reads:

Re: Helping a friend.

Yea buddy, I think you may enjoy these shots fro Gettysburg, PA 1991 reenactment. There were nearly 15,000 participants, and these are a fraction of the shots I got. Being the way I am, I was able to get into the press section.. The place was a mad house and when they asked who I was, I said press :laughing7: I hate 2 cameras already set on tripods and one around my neck.. Now who do you think I am :laughing9:

I hope you enjoy some of the shots.. I had to shot from the original print, so they may not be that great..

Hey Digger, I thought this would be a good thread for learning and seeing firsthand how things were in the war, Well then and now. I have never been to a Reinactment, So I PM'd Spartacus53 and asked, Ok bugged him to post his pictures of the battle at gettysburg. He posted all these pictures, I have a few but they are just scenery of Harpers Ferry from the 80's. Hoped More folks would have pictures to share New or old pics of sights and such of the civil war. From all state associated with the war, For Everyone to see these places. I have only saw a mere scratch in the surface of how many there are.

So come on folks loosen up and show what you have!

I've been to so many reenactments I feel like I fought in that War :laughing7:

poorhunter78, you have one very near you in New Market.. They reenact the battle that the cadets from V.M.I fought in every May. Been there a few times

Also been on numerous occasions to the following

Gettysburg, PA 4 times
Mananas, VA I at least 10 times
Mananas, VA II only twice, it does overlap I, but all the construction has reduced it to almost nothing
Fredericksburg, VA 3 times
Chancellorsville, VA 3 times
Battles of Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House 3 times

I have yet to, and want to visit Antietam, Shiloh, Petersburg and fort Wagner & Sumpter in SC

Some interesting trivia for you.. The Civil War started in Wilmer Mclean's front porch and ended in his backyard. He moved right after the first battle to get out of harms way. I just think trouble followed him

I'll leave this one for you guys to answer...

What town changed hands the most often.. I think it was either 26, or 27 times :laughing7:
