RE-ENACTORS AT ROCHEFORT

You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Re: RE-ENACTORS AT ROCHEFORT
Re-enactors at Blakeley. 146 years after the last "major" battle East of the Mississippi. Taken today. Some Yankee re-enactors, about half looking about as long in the tooth and unlikely to resemble the real thing as those European re-enactors in Duncan's photo.......except the one sixth from the left. He looks a couple of years too young.

I think he was a boy of about 17 or 18...and really probably right for the period he attempts to portray. Now on the other hand...take a look at the rebel to the right in this added photo.
Haven't you ever heard of Joan of Arc? It's all fine with me. After all, these are only people enjoying their lives in a way that makes them happy. Seeing them kinda makes me wish I were doing it....only I'd have to be a colonel or something....because that is the way I'd want to imagine and play it. Of course I'd be more true to nature as a private in the rear ranks. And of course I'd be older by twice the age of most actual colonels on both sides in the actual conflict.....which in the world of imagination , and re-enacting, obviously would make no difference.
