Civil War Battle Reenactment

Posted by: Kayla Martin in WAVE Culture on February 18th, 2008

Robb Sands Florida Civil War ReenactmentWAVE’s own Robb Sands “fought for the North” in a Civil War Battle Reenactment this past weekend.

Robb says:

“The Battle of Olustee was Florida’s largest Civil War battle. Reenactors come from all over Florida to relive the life and times of our Civil War ancestors. They camp out all weekend in as close to an authentic way as possible, then stage battles for spectators. It is a great way to learn about about one part of our nations history.”

Here are some pictures of the battle:

    Well, first of all my good wife did partake in the occasion (see image above), and enjoyed every minute. Other wifes also participated, doing everything from soldiering (both Infantry and Calvary) to keeping the campfires burning.

    Secondly as to how old I am. I am still young enough to kick some southern …., but old enough to know better

    And finally, is this Mississippi question some sort of cruel interrogation technique?
