War Between the States-Living History

 

 Did a little presentation this week for my 8th graders on what life was like for a Union soldier in 1863.

Getting my equipment ready for my Living History Demo. All the equipment (except the glasses-sorry can't see without them nowadays) is either from the time period, as is my bayonet, or authentic reproductions like my cap and ball rifled .58 cal. musket. 

Explaining what life was like for a Union infantryman circa 1863, has been a passion of mine for decades.

As this is my 38 year of Civil War Living History Presentations to Elementary-Middle-High-College students and adults in addition to countless reenactments.
