Every time the volunteers, who were dressed as Confederate soldiers, fired their black-powder rifles, the wind swept the acrid smoke over the small crowd of people watching.
Chief Park Ranger John Sutton said the whole Wilson’s Creek battlefield would have smelled that way because smoke from the weapons of thousands of soldiers would have lingered on that hot, windless day 152 years ago during the Civil War.
