If there was ever a time in history that I would love to go back to and live in, it would be this time period. I suppose there is a certain romance about it that just draws me in.
I think I have found my new calling and would love to serve as a reenactor. Men, women and kids all participated and after watching these people and seeing their campsites, I had to wonder how many of them are in the prepper community. I was amazed at the level of self sufficiency. I felt like we in our preps are no where as prepared or organized as some of these people. Made me take a step back and reevaluate my own preps.
Here are some pictures :
Senior did a panoramic of the entire battlefield
Our mouths began to water when we smelled this chicken on the spit:
Lining up for Muster:
A smoke ring after a cannon blast:
I love this flag:
That is the Cornwallis house..it was featured in the movie "The Patriot"
After the smoke cleared for this particular battle, the British accepted the Colonial surrender. And another history lesson was in the books. Our boys were amazed at the rifle fire, and cannon blasts.
I stood for a few seconds and wondered what the real battle scene back in 1780 must have looked like. I tried to imagine the scene in my mind, but could not come close to the real thing.The reenactors were lucky, they could get up and go home. But for those brave souls who fought for the freedom of this country they were not so lucky. I am so thankful for those patriots, how sad they must be for the way our country is now.
