Fort Branch Video

[Southern28Chick]

My DH insisted on taking a camera into battle this past weekend at Fort Branch where they hold an annual civil war reenactment.

DH was a yankee because there's always a shortage at Branch, you'll see the blue jackets.

Here's a cool video he got. It's called "Ronnie's Down"

Really cool! Reminds me of mine LOL! At least yours is so dry while we are in the tall grass!

I can smell the smoke and the ancipication of the battle going on! The yelling going on with our commander, he would get so hoarse when he gets back to camp LOL! Poor guy! I will have to find mine and scan them out!

They did the battle in the cotton field next to the fort. You can see from some of the pictures the last 6" of the cotton plant sticking up out of the ground. I felt bad for the guys when they "died" falling on those stiff sticks. I also thought the horses would have bloody legs after running all through it.

We only had 2 problems all weekend. A guy was sleeping to close to the fire and caught his blanket and his coat on fire...at 3 in the morning.

And a guy feel off his horse and broke his arm.

Does your Digital Camera take sepia?? Those pictures would look GREAT in sepia...I envision them all in a frames on one wall...
