It's a damn shame that there are actual corporate businesses out there who say "Oh look, nice historic battlefield! Let's build a Casino right by it!" It sickens me that people actually tried to build a casino right by Gettysburg battlefield. Thank god that they fought it in court and it never got built. Let's hope we can keep these corporations/developers from our historic battlefields that draw tourism to the beauty of the rural farmland and the excitement of the raw battlefield re-enactments.
Ok someone explain please... Why the blue guys just stand there, why the brown guys have a super thin line of guys shooting them, and why the blue side doesn't just charge ahead, smash through their thin line, and capture those guns?
No, we just load about 60-70 grains of black powder down the barrel, and fire with a percussion cap. You get the sound, smoke and power, without the danger of a real ball flying at the enemy.
I was at the 125th anniversary battle. I am getting back into reenacting for the 150th annivesary events. Hope to be in good enough shape to do it right!
I always love these reenactments. I was there, fighting with the 1st Kentucky. We held confederate right flank. You know, it's amazing how into it you get during this. I didn't even notice the crowd, and I never once remember hearing the announcer. Thanks for posting this video, whoever you are.
