Just got in and am catching up. Yes our Battalion had to wear Blue this weekend. It is usualy done because there are alot of Union reenactors, and who wants to see 500 Rebs battle 20 Union Soldiers.

While I am a staunch defender of the Southern Cause, I realise that what were are doing is bringing history to life, it's not a way of life but and act. So I can be the bad guy sometimes.

The best part of reenacting is the camp and comraderie. I have never seen anyone treated like a stranger in our Battalion. I did get to meet Gary Bray at this reenactment, he post jere and on the Texas board, so you also get to meet people as you go from one to the other.
