yankee murderers?

Hey, welcom to war where everyone is a murderer.

whats with the green? is that the camera or something?

[loupgarou1863]

That's part of the Sharp Shooters' uniform. They wore green for two reasons. One was a "camoflauge," but more importantly, the color has had a military history to denote soldiers who are trained specificly for the rifle and be exceptional shots.

wots that banjo tune at the end anyone know?

I think the name of the song is called "Waterbound" by Dirk Powell. I am sure many have done it though. THanks for helping and good video. I so would love to do this some day and be part of a reenactment of the civil war.

The banjo tune at the end of the video is from my computer's imovie application. It's a stock song from the computer's library and its only referred to as "River Walk." Other then that, not sure how to help otherwise. But it is a pretty sweet diddy.

I look at this way at least those reenactors care enough about remember history and do it because of one reason. The love of the history.. Love the song by Dan Tymanski its one of my favorites. I also liked the 2nd banjo tune on the end what was it by the way?

I've never heard of a "build requirement" ever being had in a unit. As for fat reenactors, it does irk me at times. But I don't get too needled by it. After all, if there was a "requirement," there probably would be very few reenactors who could portray theese soldiers. And there are those on the other extreme I've heard about who starve themselves for this hobby to look the part. In closing, the "fat reenactor" in this vid has lost a lot of weight. since this footage was taken.

Am I the only one that is really bothered by fat reenactors? I mean, it's not realistic at all that they would still be downright obese after marching and fighting for months or years. Don't reenactment units have some kind of build requirements at all?
