Nice catch. You are the first to call it.

When you're on the field it's like you're actually there... depending on where you're standing, if you're by the crowd then it's like putting on a play but if you were where I was then it's like the real thing it's sweet... just thought I had to say that.

[Pjphoto]

Were you filming or a participant?

[PvtGabeSwift]

Yeah I'm from 1st Virginia Co. H Wyatt's Batt. artillary it's really fun reenacting I think it just makes life more interesting.

This was my first attempt at filming this type of event. I truly enjoyed it. I should try to get on the field like the other filmmakers next time though. Were you in this video?

@captainkeys12

Paul, that would make more sense but your post made it seem like you were a current member. I look foward to meeting you sometime as having been a member since 1999 I don't recall having met you at a any past events as part of Co.E.

[captainkeys12]

the comment i posted a few months ago was just to give information on who i was, I'll let you know if ill be there this year

[captainkeys12]

2ndWisconsinCoE,

to tell you the truth, i haven't heard of you either, probably because i have not been able to reenact since 2003 because of my work schedule, also i don't really pay any attention to the others in the regiment, but hey i might be able to be there this year ill have to wait an see

[chubsmagoo]

Go Iron Brigade and 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry!!!!

[PjPhotoProductions]

I only stayed for the first battle and pretty much stayed in that one spot.

[Vanawen42]

Do you have any footage of Mockingbird Theatre Company? They were at this same event too! :D

[NextGenReviewer]

Were you the guy with the flannel shirt and wood tripod on the feild? if you were, I was behind you when you were close to the crowds.

[NextGenReviewer]

It is on the weekend of september 25th and 26th I believe. I'm pretty exited to go this year. Hope you get another good video in!!!

[PjPhotoProductions]

Awesome....Im hoping to come back and film more. Pass this video along to your friends. If you remember let me know when Wade house is doing it again.

[NextGenReviewer]

I'm going to this this year! I just joined the 2nd Wisconsin Company E, infact, I've met all the people at 0:43 and are good friends with them.

[BenAliGtor]

This is a really good venue and the event has tremendous potential. Unfortunately, it's a common problem with many events but there is never enough infantry on the field. The 2nd Wisconsin does a fine job with what they have, but I'll never understand why more Iron Brigade units-from Michigan and Indiana- don't make the trip. It's a long drive, sure- but you'll never find friendlier or more outgoing event sponsors than at Greenbush.

[SirDriverMan1]

I'm sorry, who is that?

[odinbat]

where was Jim Dumkee in the video?

[SirDriverMan1]

Awesome, I am glad you enjoyed it. This was my first attempt at filming a reenactment. Next time I would love to get more onto the field.

[hpf07]

As a participant in this reenactment, I really enjoyed watching this VERY WELL DONE video. Thank you!

[SirDriverMan1]

Thanks. My Great Great Grandfather and his two sons served in the Civil war. One of them was killed during Shermans March. All were from Wisconsin. Last name Stanley. We

We were camping at Mauthe Lake that weekened and decided to grab the cameras and film a battle. It was 10 miles from us, Im so glad we went.

[nightwolf014]

really amazingly done... one thing that i noticed is the southern part of Wisconsin is really into knowing more about and keeping the knowledge alive on the Civil War. I had a third great uncle who passed away during the Civil War. Many people named after him in the Ozaukee area. jodie
