One of the coolest parts about going to the different Civil War battle reenactments is just sitting and listening to the stories that some of these guys have. These two older gentlemen have been traveling around the country to the different battle reenactments for decades now. They told me they have trailers full of their gear that they travel with and it usually takes them about a day or so to set up all their props.
They don't take part in the physical part of the battles anymore, but instead prefer to sit back and add to the whole ambience of the reenactment. They have crafted some pretty interesting personas that are partially fictional characters mixed with a little bit of history as well.
They like when the people that have come to watch the battle visit their tent and listen to their stories of battles past and to give people some insight on what life was like back in the 1800s. These people add a whole new level of immersion to the already amazing experience.

Pretty cool, yes those stories so will add the the entire atmosphere. It’s great that people visit their tent.
What a work it must be setting it all up every time when they have gathered so much. It shows they have fun.
Great captures of 2 great personalities 😎
Ya, they really added to the whole ambience of the setting. It is so cool that there are so many different people role playing there.
Yes, it is cool to see them. I been to a few but before the time I was taking photographs hahaha lol
Have a great day today 👋🏻☀️
They must have some great stories to tell of the battlefield. These gentlemen look absolutely delved into the atmosphere of a countryside.
Awesome pics love em all.
Thank you. It was weird at first listening to them because I wasn't sure if they were telling the truth or not, but once I realized they were talking about stuff in the 1800s, I knew it was part of their act.
Stories can be truth or myth, to understand the reality requires to study the history critically. They had performed what was written in the script. Thanks bro.
That dude with the pipe looks like he has some stories to tell! hahaha
Lol. He was awesome
Thank you
