Elgin Civil War Experience, 2018

Guess who's back.

Of course General Lee had to be the very first photo I edited. I haven't even touched the others, which means I too will be back with more shots from today's events.

I got very lucky and found @Albert Sailhorst right away. And he signed my book!

Martin Sheen?

Looking forward to more photos! Hope someone took one of you....

There's a few floating around.

This cute little button played "Dixie" and "Ashokan Farewell" for General Lee and friends in the General's tent.

And got an enthusiastic round of applause!

Here's half of today's photography team. Photo credit to Brian Schultz.

My daughter is the one who couldn't even stop to pose with us.

Doesn't his expression say, "Boy, I just love running into you!"

It does.

I can hear him now, " Lori, I'll strike a pose for you at any event".

This might be a dumb question, but is this Elgin as in Port Elgin Ontario?

Oh ok, thank you! I got a little excited at the thought of something closer to us, but Illinois is cool! I like that it's the "2nd annual". I hear alot about reenactments being cancelled and CW museums being closed, glad to see there's still enough interest to generate new traditions!!

 

[LoriAnn]

As usual, Albert's crew ended up being the most photogenic.

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

Great shot !

That fellow looks very authentic.

 

[LoriAnn]

Seriously. I never take a great candid shot like this.

 

[LoriAnn]

Found General Jackson.

You can't tell from this photo, but he's funny!

 

[LoriAnn]

Oh, and look who else is funny! I was trying to take a portrait of Custer, and this is what was going on in the background.

@LoriAnn, I love all of these pics!!! Wish my favorite general had been there. Dang it!

You and me both. I would have bugged him big time!
