[QUOTE="Star*, post: 426507, member: 4964"] WOW your battalion is AWESOME! We go to the ones here right down the road, and friends of ours used to do reinactments in Valley Forge as members of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Belonging is HUGE around here. Our area is steeped in Civil war history. Being in Columbia and us being right near the Congaree River? We're up to our ears in it. It's huge here. Oh that purple dress and the maroon one are beautiful!!! And the guy with the white beard looks every bit the part doesn't he? Okay I was going to say something about the Rhett Butler looking fella then I saw the wife and child so I will just say he looks like Rhett Butler. lol. Even the horses are georgeous. You took some excellent shots - even have the smoke rising from the cannons! WOW! Thanks so much for sharing. I have a great one of Dude standing in front of a bunch of reinactors and one of them is a friends Father. dude is standing there with his Granddaughter and above it we wrote a cute little something about getting hitched - she's dressed for the campsite - but he wasn't - and they all have their gear on.
