         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Sunday August 10, 2014:  The U.S. Civil War event continued.
 
More interesting people to see.
 
Did they really grow beards like that back then?  Best to get going on that, young man!
 
Camp life wasn't bad with venison and fresh corn on the cob.
 
There were even women in army camps back then.
 
Gosh, they even had chaplains back then.
The northern boys in blue grouped up and got ready to march.
 
Southern boys in grey were reviewed by their commander before heading out.
 
Confederate General Robert E. Lee was there as troops marched to the battlefield.
 
Then the canons let loose as the battle began.
 
Hard to believe they stood up when shooting back then so they could be hit by enemy bullets.
 
Union troops won the battle and celebrated the victory with a loud Hurray!

Quote of the day:  Glad the U.S. Civil War is over.   Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
