@AntipodeanAl I think he's an undertaker. Or a civilian. Not sure.

Looks pretty authentic, Ethan and very well done. Where did you come across this film, or was it something you created? If it's something you made I would like to ask you a couple of questions if you don't mind. Let me know.

Thanks,

John

@civilwarstory It was a film production made in the 1960's. The whole story is contained in the links above... click on the "show more" link for the story.

This is cool!

[anotherengineer]

Pretty amazing considering the motion picture camera wasn't invented until 1880.

[joetubealong]

@anotherengineer If you thin this is amazing you should see the post that says that it is authentic confederate army marching filmed by some french guy

[imaStonesFan]

@anotherengineer reenactment you dummy. Read where it says "show more" in the info about the video.

[Bestmanme08]

Google "Arthur reed" and "Charles Reed" and see about black Confederates!

NO chickens were harmed in the making of this film. :)

Outstanding! I wish the current candyasses in the hobby would put more effort into authenticity. The 150th anniversary events should be exciting. See you there.

@ethanwc "Jonah Begone of the Camp Chase Gazette." FORMERLY of the Camp Chase Gazette! The new one is too humorless to run my stuff.

Thanks for posting! I have admired Kimmel since reading his Memoirs. Dandy looking Johnny Rebs: blanket rolls, thin, young and NOT WEARING GLASSES!!!

[BegoneJonah]

@Jubilo1 Yeah, what is it with the wearing of modern glasses in reenacting nowadays? (And cigarettes.) This was widely scorned in the Eighties, when I did most of my reenacting. A dire trend.
