lol i always say "If your askin the uniform you wont get an answer. If you ask me I'll sure give you an answer" haha and another one is "that uniform looks hot on you" and if its from a girl i normally say "probably would on you too" haha
Well Patton's Great gand father and Great Uncle, The Patton brothers did fight for the south during the Civil War and where called Heros of the south. So you might have just miss understood the question
LOL.. know the feeling, I've done Re-enacting for years. some of the Q's. I've got have been this. "Do you really sleep in those tents? Is that food real, then.. do you eat it?" best one for me has been. "Isn't your uniform hot? I said "no miss, it comes with it's own AC.' She said. "Oh good, they you wont get heat stroke".. yep, I just smiled and went about my way.
also i was getting water poured on my head cause it was like 95 degrees out in wool, and then a person with a camera is like can u do that agian? i wuz like o.0 that had to be the wierdest thing that ever happend to me,i never knew getting water poured on my head is really that intresting.
well i was just sharing my experience as a fellow reenactor, but im preatty sure in 90 degree heat brits drank water and tea, but honestly if anyone drank tea it was usally the officers, but why would u take a pic. of a drummer getting water poured on his head? thats just kinda wierd
so cooling a drummer boy off is a great dramatic shot? dude i can see taking a` shot of a battle, a group of men posing for a picture, but putting water on a dudes forehead? come on, u can do that in real life to.
Well, if you don't want your picture taken, you ought to avoid mainstream reenactments and stick with those hardcore campaigner types.
Battle shots and posed groups can be nice, but they're overdone. Scenes that would be from the everyday life of the period you're portraying make the best shots. One of the best photos I've ever seen taken at a reenactment consisted of a closeup of five or six guys' hands, all in different poses holding their muskets. It was beautiful art. But I'm an artist.
i like getting my picture taken but sometimes its just kinda awkward, like the photo of the hands, that sounds like a good shot, but ,mt situation was really different
heres the situation, my mom is helpin out cooking over a spit, then a group of people come over asking all these questions like wut are ya cookin? wuts life as a camp follower like? then this person says wut are u drinking, and this other person says o theyre drinking tea, the british loved to always have theyre tea........ i was like wuuuuuuuut??????? u got to be kidding me???? as if 89 degree heat wasnt bad already? were humans we drink water!!!!
Now we know what General Stuart was doing instead of riding to Lee's assistance. Getting his name in the papers and preening over his uniform in front of interested civilians. ;-P
Actually, he was away under orders doing his duty, as always -- and fighting the Yankee cavalry who cut him off from Lee. The uniform preening is only done in his spare time.
Hint: Don't try to get your history from Ron Maxwell movies; but if you must, at least try not to quote the character word for word. ;)
That sounds just like Stuart :)

I worked 2 summers at Antietam. My fav q of many dumb ones was:
a woman standing on Burnside Bridge asked me if she could go in the water below to look for bullets.
a man asked me where on the battlefield Gen Patton fought

As a photographer, I can tell you that we like to take pictures of EVERYTHING. You never know what might turn out to be a great shot.
The British did like to drink hot tea in hot weather... not sure what that has to do with the Civil War, though.

Andy Warhol made a lot of money selling pictures of Campbell's soup cans. Who would paint a picture of a soup can?

I think my favorite questions so far that I've been asked are:
1. "Are you shooting real bullets?"
2. "Is that fire real?"

Personal favourites in my experience:
1) at a screaming child being comforted by a mother: 'is that a real baby?'
2) at me taking a bite from an apple: 'is that a real apple?'

The loss of Gettysburg was not Stuart's fault. Read "Saber and Scapegoat" by Mark Nesbitt to find out more.
