With this year's events set to commence this weekend, I reckon it's about time I shared some photos from last year.

I like the pictures.I do have some questions ,Did Lee bring with him any staff members when he meet Grant?Who is the gentlemen in the chair ? He seems to be out of place,as does all those Confederate soldiers on the pouch[SIXTH PICTURE DOWN} The pictures of Lee on his sorrel are very good , just as in the pictures of the real RE Lee,.

Colonel Charles Marshall was the only staff officer who accompanied General Lee. Only the 5th photo is from the actual reenactment of the surrender.

My son got to participate in the 150th; it got rather tedious because the surrender was repeated so many times!

Very nice! Were there many there who were mounted? Any ladies on horseback?

Lee is not on a sorrel he is on a gray. Traveller may have been either a Tennessee Walking Horse or an early American Saddlebred.

WOW!!! Forgive me for sounding ignorant but is there in these "politically correct" however not "offensive" to others for many generations really a Confederate history month???

 

[UCVRelics]

Confederate history month???

Yes there is and its still Celebrated here in the South and Confederate Memorial Day is still a PAID State holiday here in Alabama April 23. 6 other Southern States also have the same day but a few different dates.

Thank you for sharing. I never realized this was re-enacted annually.

Some say Tom Lovell's rendition of the parlor inside Wilmer's house is the most accurate but includes Custer at far right, he was actually outside in another room.
