The weather was warm and wonderful March 21-22 in Bentonville, N.C., where we enjoyed digging trenches and reenacting historical battles with the "rebs."
On Sunday, the battles were fought in the same cotton fields where slaves had picked cotton 150 years earlier. These realizations give reenacting as a Union Civil War soldier a deep and meaningful feeling of the true implications of that war.
