Those are wooden soled shoes copied from a pair that were picked up at the Emmitsburg road by a local farmer after the battle.

Great pic. Much better than the usual three POW's standing near the fence, which often isn't identified as POW's. I am trying to figure out what kind of shoes? sandals? the center one is wearing. Certainly gives an idea of the non-uniform uniforms the Secesh were wearing. BTW I just realized that this is a 2013 foto. No wonder the POW's look so well fed.

This one looks like it could be a period photo. Very good job.

Favorite photo, hands down. Excellent job! That is what real Confederates looked like.

Was thinking that too, but you have to admit they look pretty rag tag compare to the average Confederate reenactor out there.

Speaking of authentic reenactors have you heard of these guys? Another very realistic group, was very impressed with their representation of the 4th TX during the Maryland Campaign.

I dunno. They may be a tad well fed but at least they aint OLD and well fed. You have to take that into consideration!
