1st Battle of Bull Run Reenactment

[Misiame]

its like at bull run spectators watched like a picknick

[1stnjgunner]

great reenactment. due to EXTREME heat, casualties were required to move off to the edge of battlefield out of the sun. that's why there doesn't appear to be many hits

@1stnjgunner This wasn't the 150th. I can't speak for the heat of this reenactment, but I can tell you the 150th was hotter than hell.

why do southerners insist on re-enacting a war they lost ? you'd think they'd prefer to forget the whole thing.

[rylobreedo]

@JerichoDitch2 You would do well to realize Civil War reenactments take place in both the North and the South, and are reenacted by people from every state.

@JerichoDitch2 umm.....its a hobby......

@JerichoDitch2

By that logic, there should be no reenactments of the Napoleonic Wars, either.

I like the civilians sitting around eating pic nic lunches, because that really happened.

[deppard61]

@TheWillowview Actually that has happened. There was a battle in New Market where some of the civilians sat out and watched the fighting from hills.

[TheWillowview]

This is weak.... southern troops consisting of mostly ex- u.s. militia had mostly blue uniforms, not the butternut these amatuers are wearing.

Didn't see anyone dying.

Can't wait for the 150th

[hollywoodwerewolf]

I wonder if the 150th event in Virginia this year will be big?

[DrKorn5]

@hollywoodwerewolf supposed to be 15,000

[hollywoodwerewolf]

@DrKorn5 if it reaches that total it will be in the record books. I hope there are plenty of videos and maybe a DVD on the event.

[xKAsoccer10x]

@hollywoodwerewolf i think it will be every were

[SamuelDMorgan]

@hollywoodwerewolf There will be at least 6000. It'll be my first reenactment.

[hollywoodwerewolf]

@SamuelDMorgan I hope there's good weather, not too hot. 

[Eddyisrich403]
