Homage to Our Brave Soldiers

 

I got the privilege to see a Civil War Re-enactment this Memorial weekend in Deep Creek, WA.

 

It was a lovely cool day, in a beautiful setting.  Lots of tents were setup, just like homes during the Civil War times.  Entire families lived in these over the weekend. 

 

 

In fact, they do this several times a year.

 

 

In full regalia.

 

 

 

Here is my childhood girl friend, Phyllis with her friend, Jim, who plays many hats, as sheriff,  judge, post master, scout, etc.

 

 

And she’s no angel, she pulls a small pistol against a very surprised governor.

 

 

 

In the end a duel takes place and the governor is shot.

 

 

 

And the culprit pays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is always lots going on at the postmasters.  Actually, there was a trail going on….of sorts.

 

 

 

 

The first 3-D movies, the only ‘entertainment’ in those days.

This young man came with his family to visit the re-enactment….dressed for the time frame. 

 

Some families brought entire bedroom sets.

 

 

Since this post is getting so long, I will continue with some more pictures later.  Thanks for stopping by.
