The Civil War: Let the re-enactments begin
In the early afternoon of July 21, 1861, Captains Ricketts and Griffin marshal their artillery batteries into position to attack the unsupported flank of Col. Thomas Jackson's brigade.
The thunderous roar of the federal cannon fills the air. The Confederate cannon responds in kind. Smoke covers the field as the first major battle of the Civil War rages on over the plains of Manassas.
* * *
During a scorching week this past July, more than 8,000 participants have come to a small town in Virginia to help commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Manassas, the first large-scale conflict of the Civil War.
They have come to re-enact the battle, wearing period clothing, armed with period weapons and giving the tens of thousands who have come to catch a brief glimpse of life during that turbulent time. They are living in camps on the grounds and spend time practicing battle formations. As we walk around the encampments in the early morning hours, we can half close our eyes and feel as if we have been transported back in time. Some soldiers are starting to get up, while others stoke small fires. Others are practicing drills, while a blacksmith is already hard at work.
