civil war reenactment

Even though no one except Katy seems to read this...I decided to post something. And since I got to go to a Civil War Reenactment recently I decided to post some pictures from it.
It was a reenactment of the Battle of Kirskvill, which if you've never heard of it, I'm not surprised. I was born in Kirskvill and although I have never actually lived there I've spent a lot of time there, and I didn't know there had been a battle there till a couple years ago. It was a small battle but I guess sorta important and actually they had never reenacted it before, although they did try the last two years but it hadn't worked out. It was really cool that they got to this year since it was 150 years ago.
Anyway if you really want to know about the battle google it, I'm sure you'll get better info that way because I'm still a little foggy on the details. So instead of giving you a hole history lesson, I'll just post some pictures.
The Union cannons (well one of them at least you can't really see the others because of the smock...)

The Union soldiers.

The Confederate soldiers.

The Union kinda forgot their flag when they retreated...

the Confederates however did not forget their flag and didn't take the Union flag down...


the Union got their flag back! :)

and the Confederates surrendering. :) 

and both Union and Confederates all in one long line. (obviously after the battle!)

Oh and no pictures of me because I didn't dress up. ;)
