Civil War re-enactment by the 67th New York Volunteer Infantry and the 10th New York Cavalry, versus the 9th & 30th Virginia Cavalry

This took place on September 25 and 26, at the Sayville Grange, Long Island, New York. Of course, there was no real battle in Sayville.

This was a small group of re-enactors who presented Union and Confederate encampments, and re-created a small skirmish, which probably looked like many of the clashes between small units during the Civil War.

Live period music performed at the event courtesy of Maria Fairchild and Jack Dillon.

I tried to edit out all of the things you wouldn't see in the 1860's, like cars and people in 2010 clothing. There are a couple of things I didn't keep out, though. Can you find them?

  • Nicely Done! Tho' the 9th & 30th Virginia are Infantry Units, not Cavalry. Come back next year for a plate of johnnycakes & beans.

  • @gman1953 Thanks! I stand corrected. I got the info from a flyer, I just thought the Cavalry was on foot this time, like Teddy Roosevelt & the Rough Riders (in a later war, of course!)

  • Nice job. We love playing music from the 1800s. Hope we'll be back next year.

  • Great job! You did very well documenting our weekend at the Grange. Thanks from the 67th NY for visiting and taking the time to make & post this video. We'll be back next September should you want to film a sequel.
