I thought for this week I would share pictures from a Civil War reenactment that we went to in September. It was The Battle of Chickamauga. We got to hear former Vice-President Cheney speak. One of his relatives fought in this battle, so he has some special ties to the reenactment. I just love the ladies in the picture below. .JPG)

Former Vice-President Cheney speaks to the crowd. I really enjoyed hearing him. The security was super tight for this part of the event. .JPG)
This guy just did an amazing job! He looks so much like Abe! He did a talk for the children which was wonderful. .JPG)
This was such a fun event for us. My brother participates in reenactments when he can. I want to make sure that we attend more. It is such a wonderful learning experience.
I hope you enjoyed my reenactment pictures! Have a super Wednesday!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I've been to a battle that took place in Florida (there weren't many), and it was equally interesting. I was fascinated by the camp setups even more than watching the actual battle. My great great grandfather fought in Tennessee, but I can't remember what battle... supposedly one of the worst of the war.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

I wish we could have attended this. I can't remember why we didn't go, but there was a reason at the time. : )
What a wonderful event. I'll bet you had a fabulous time.
