These are some Civil War reenactors that we saw at a local historic site, Bennett Place where a large Confederate army surrendered at the end of the Civil war. At first glance their uniforms looked somewhat casually thrown together. But actually, these guys are real history buffs and what they are wearing represents meticulous efforts to recreate the irregular uniforms of Confederate soldiers. When they weren’t marching around they gave lessons to onlookers about their costumes and weapons. There was a drum and fife band that played marches from the period. All in all it was an interesting history lesson.
