I went to a re-enactment of the Battle of Franklin-Nashville, on the original battlefield. At that time it was said to be one of the larger re-enactments til that time, about 25,000 participants. There was a company of re-enactors, I think they were all from Texas, who were stunt-men/extras for the movies. They would roll off their horses at full gallop, the horses dropped like they'd been shot, too. They put on a hell of a show. Interestingly, when the riders fell/got shot, the horses stopped almost in their last steps, and stayed rooted to that spot, till their rider got up and came and got them. All of them did this, every one.

Also, these guys (all the re-enactors) are hard core. At the one I went to, there was literally white canvas tents by the thousands. Root beer brewed on site, 1860s style.

Kept the bottle.

I have all this on Sony 8mm videotape. Yeah, I know, great decision. $1000 well-wasted.

There were also black re-enactors. Something I'd never thought about. There were soldiers, servants, maids. A surprising number of them, in fact.

i wasn't too impressed with the auto focus while taking movies with the 3100. it kept getting confused and not focusing correctly. pretty much the vids here that i posted were the only ones worth a darn out of the many that i took.

very nice V. What was the exposure time on that?

glatt · 10-19-2011, 03:04 PM

Where is that? Look like it's take from a bluff overlooking a mountain lodge.

Looks like you got some pinholes in your, oh wait. Never mind. Very cool.

Confederates in the Attic is a phenomenal book about modern day Civil War reenactors, and how the war is still very much alive in the minds of many people on the east coast and in the south. Short read, but very interesting stuff.
