[Mustang_51]

To all civil war history buffs, please come out and support the upcoming Civil War reenactment at the Huntington Beach Central Park on Aug 31 & Sept 1. Civil War reenactment groups from Southern California will be participating. Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Medical Units and more will be there in period dress and equipped with the latest equipment from the 1860s.

I think they just had a rehearsal on Main St. over the weekend.

Joking aside this actually sounds really cool. Is there an opportunity for non participants to check out all of the guns and uniforms and such?

Having been pretty hard core into Civil war history for years, I'd love to see that. However, being midweek makes it hard to get down there. I bet it will be awesome though.

I haven't been to a reenactment yet, but hope to do it some day. Not sure if any of you have read "Confederate in the Attic", but it's an interesting non-fiction account of the author's investigation of current ties back to the Civil War, including embedding himself with a number of reenactors. A really good read!
