The Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site is a National Park Service complex located in Kiowa County, Colorado (East of Eads). This complex commemorates the Sand Creek Massacre that occurred during the American Civil War on November 29, 1864. This site is considered sacred after the unprovoked assault on an encampment of approximately 750 Native people resulted in the murder of hundreds of men, women and children by United States Army Soldiers.

Most of the time at a reenactment is spent in camp. While the battles are certainly the climax of the events, time in camp & the fellowship is off the charts. The next few pics are of just that, camp photos.

Mission Statement

CivilWarTalk is a forum for students and fans of the American Civil War. Our online community of Historians, Skirmishers, Re-enactors, Educators, and Enthusiasts is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information related to the War Between the States. Our goal is to become the leading resource for every researcher seeking historical information and opinions relating to the American Civil War.

The American Civil War

The American Civil War, arguably the most traumatic event in the history of the United States, was fought from 1861 to 1865, and was the culmination of sectional issues which deeply divided the country between a pro-Federal government North and a pro-states rights, in the pro-slavery South, whose eleven states formed a breakaway government called the Confederate States of America. The costliest war in terms of human lives, the American Civil War claimed in excess of 620,000 battle or disease-related deaths - roughly two percent of the country's total population, and nearly more deaths than all other American wars combined.
