Reenacting
I recently lost a long time friend, Whit Edwards, who was a great reenactor/historian/actor/friend. My first reenacting was with Whit and many other great historians serving in the 10th Kansas Company A. We had a great time. In 2003 with family responsibilities and an ever more troublesome spinal cord, I gave up Civil War reenacting.
My core group of reenactor friends today are my Native American friends who you have seen in many previous posts. They man a mountain howitzer for the Civil War period and I fell in with them due to the fact I have a very limited kit for this period. Manning the howitzer also is a little less stressful on my spine, but only slightly as I found out Saturday and Sunday.
I have the Range Rover fitted with electric space heater to eliminate my scraping of ice and frost. I wonder how long that would run if I put it on an DC inverter from a second battery? Hmmmm….
I want to thank all those who have served in our nation’s military and especially those families out there that their loved one paid the ultimate price to keep all of America free. Freedom is not free, and many have gave all they had to keep us safe in our homes while we enjoy that freedom.
This is part one of a four part post.
