Back from the 19th Century....

Mon Sep 7, 2009, 5:33 AM
  • Mood: Content
  • Reading: "Three Came Home: A Civil War Trilogy"
  • Watching: Rise and Fall of WCW (DVD)
  • Playing: Batman: Arkham Asylum
Well, I made it back from Atlanta. Despite our best efforts, Sherman still took the place just like 145 years ago.... Maybe we'll stop him when the 150th Anniversary rolls around. =P


Anyway, the site for the event is wonderful and is on an actual Civil War battle site called Nash Farm.

I can't praise Henry County, Georgia enough for preserving this site (which is right in the shadow of the urban sprawl of Atlanta). Let me get on my soapbox for a moment: Civil War sites are disappearing at an alarming rate, even major battlefields like Gettysburg and Manassas are in danger of being plowed over. I urge everybody with even a tiny interest in our history, Blue or Gray, to visit this site:

Anyway, back to the event. This being Georgia in late summer, the weather was hot as hell. I have a nice little red hue around my face to prove it. Still, we had a great time as we recreated four battles from the Atlanta Campaign: Kennesaw Mountain (June 27, 1864), Atlanta (July 22, 1864), Lovejoy's Station/Nash Farm (August 20, 1864), and Jonesboro (September 1, 1864). Consult Wikipedia for more info. =P

Anyway, I'm already looking forward to the 150th Atlanta in 2014. Until next time: Long live Dixie! =D
