Went to Wilson's Creek 150th Anniversary Reenactment this past Saturday.Good things and bad things…Here is a link to some photos I took:http://civilwarmo.info/photos/?picasaViewAlbumId=WilsonSCreek081311%2C0And here is a blog post I wrote about what I thought of the event:http://civilwarmo.info/2011/08/14/wilsons-creek-150th-my-thoughts/🙂
Interesting write-up. How long did the reenactment last?
Not long… about an hour…. They had skirmishes throughout the day and another reenactment later in the day.Trying to play football on a baseball diamond is what it felt like…it can be done somewhat, but it just isn't the same…Next up is the Battle of Lexington MO on 17 September… VERY interesting battle and story… Small battlefield and I am sure they will hold the reenactment on the field… The great thing about living in Missouri is all these battles that took place early on…
