  • 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?

  • The damned narrator just needs to shut the hell up.

  • We're heading out to 150th Manassas at 4 AM Tuesday/tomorrow. My husband is QM for the 5th RGT ANV.

    Come on out this weekend to Manassas, VA and view an early-war, Large event!

  • Why are there like 3 confederates just there in front of the yanks? lol they probably would of been shot down by now.

  • I am taking my two kids to see the re enactments this year (2011) My first time to see Gettysburg. I am really looking forward to it

  • I've yet to make it over there from Philadelphia so thank you for posting this ! Hopefully this summer!

    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.
