I will throw in one more Civil War thingy.  This is part of a slide show we did a few years ago after going to the 140th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.  This was a turning point in the war between the states.  All pics were taken with an old Minolta Dimage 100.

It was not so much fun as sad.  I tend to see such events as a reflection of what happened and not as entertainment.  There were close to 20,000 reenactors in the 3 day event.  It was hot, hurried and eventful.  So, bear with this selection of two images, the closing page and one of the intermediate pages of the slide show.  

I hope to find a neat shot of happy folks or scene to post...this thread gives me a chance to recover images filed away and almos forgotten..a few are worth posting.      Tom.
