I thought I'd throw up another photo, this from last week. This is a staged scene from the Fort Bowie where we were commemorating the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Apache Pass.
They wouldn't actually allow us to burn down the displays in the park so I added the flames and smoke for fun.

"And when the nobel old house could hold no more, the yard was appropriated until the wounded and the dead filled It"
"Our Doctours were deficient in bandages, and she (Mrs McGavock) began by giving her old linen, then her towels, amd napkins, then her sheets and table clothes, then her husband's shirts and her own undergarments."
"During all this time the surgeons plied their deadful work amid the sighs and moans and death rattle. Yet amid it all, this nobel woman. . . was very active and constantly at work. During all the night neither she nor any of the household slept, but dispensed tea and coffeeand such stimulants as she had and that two with her own hands.. she walked from room to room from man to man her very skirts staind with blood." Capt. William D. Gale - Lt. Gen Alexander P. Stewart's staff
