[QUOTE="donna723, post: 426727, member: 1883"] Star, these people are from the Armies of Tennessee reenacters and they come from all over Tennessee and some surrounding states. They recreate a lot of battles including Shiloh and the Battle of Franklin. Actually, those big ones have reenacters from all over the country. We have a local group too - one of the Confederate soldiers is a guy I worked with for twenty years! That couple with the baby were so great! Even the baby was dressed up in costume! The mother had to put her hands over his ears when they fired off the cannons. And that guy with the long white hair and beard - he is just MAGNIFICENT! Very tall, straight and dignified. He always plays the Yankee commander and the hair and the beard are REAL! He is just perfect for that part! He was in it last year too. It was so funny - last year they had a picture of him in the paper that was taken after the "battle". He was holding his coat open and grinning, and the whole lining of the coat is made out of a Confederate flag! Of course, these guys are [U]all[/U] southerners. This guy always plays the Yankee commander but the lower ranking soldiers have to take turns playing Yankees and Confederates because nobody wants to be the Yankees! And you can't tell unless you see them closer up but a few of the soldiers are WOMEN with their long hair up under their caps! [/QUOTE]
