For some reason I can't seem to get away from the Gettysburg theme this year! This week's photo was made ten years after last week's Throwback Thursday, at the 135th Anniversary reenactment in July, 1998. Although not a unit member, I tagged along with the Western Frontier Battalion as a member of the staff of Col. Mark Dolive. During battalion drill I was left in our camp as officer of the day - note I'm wearing my sash over-the-shoulder to indicate that - and took advantage of the lull to stroll down the hill and have my likeness taken as seen here. Unlike ten years before, this time I had NO real duties whatsoever, and was for once able to film the event to my heart's content, something I'd always wanted to do; for my photos, please see:

Anyone else having old reenactment, touring, or other Civil War-related photos, please feel free to post them here!
