Re-enactments can be so much fun it's easy to forget about all of the danger that you are dancing right next to.

The Union troops don't attack back  so we march back to camp and settle down.

SENSES AND IMAGERY:
Disappointment in the turn out of the skirmish, tired, lazy walking,

I take a hit and go down really convincingly. commander checks on me thinking I was hurt and tells me to never go down with a loaded weapon. I get back up and fight a bit more. Union troops don't attack back but a huge union company walks by us and ignores us lol.

SENSES AND IMAGERY:
Wall of blue coats, red hats, lots of rifles

We march to the Union camp and load our weapons. We fight the Union troops and take cover. Union troops fire back but don't chase us like planned.

SENSES AND IMAGERY:
Gravel paths, lush green trees, lots of shade, picket fence painted white,
