Default Rare Civil War Life Photos

I've seen many of the battlefield and dead pics. These are rare and cool showing daily life. The plantation church scene is a striking image to me.

And some folks think they have it rough now, just a tad tougher living back then.

very cool, especially the pic of the inside of Fort Sumter - I need to get back out there again. I enjoy going to those places.

Ever go to Shorpy?

I remember you saying that you want to attend a CW reenactment. The 150th Chickamauga, is shaping up to be one of the largest events in years.

The location isn't too far from the actual battlefield.

I can't stress it to you enough. DON'T MISS THIS ONE ! You will never have an opportunity to see as many reenactors or as large of an event as this one.

Rent or buy the DVD - Gettysburg. It is the most authentic Hollywood version of anything relating to the CW available. It is very true to the details of the battle.
