What are some of your favorite reenacting memories? I think mine would be my first ever event - Mumford, New York, July of 1994. It was about a 100 degrees out and humid. For those who are not familiar with this event, the host is the Genesee Country Village, a circa 1800's living history village. The event was the first day of Gettysburg on Saturday, with house to house and street fighting occurring in the village, and then the Sunday battle was Pickett's charge. I remember being a young drummer boy, unsure of what to do and getting separated from my unit during the street fighting and finding refuge in a barn with several other musicians and getting captured.
Another great memory was the 135th Gettysburg and being a Rebel and taking part in Pickett's Charge.
One other non Civil War reenactment memory was a French and Indian War reenactment. We had a massive Native American warrior - and I mean by massive meaning he weighed about 400 pounds - on our side that we nicknamed "Dances With Cheeseburgers"
