Chickamauga 145th reenactment PART 1

This is from the 145 anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Chickamauga. As I understand, the Park Service wouldn't let this take place on the actual field, so it's being held in nearby McLemore's Cove where action did take place in the days just prior to the actual battle. Look for the spooked deer charging across the field about halfway through. I didn't have a good angle, unfortunately. Dick Cheeny was there earlier that day.

was that just a portion of the reenactors or the whole lot? I do hope it was a strongly attended event and not everyone was tired out from Gettysburg

This was the smallish first day, and not by a long shot the whole lot. I didn't make it yesterday (day 2), but I'll be there this afternoon for Snodgrass Hill.
