Neshaminy 2009 - Civil War Reenactment

The 20th Annual Civil War reenactment was held April 18-19, 2009 at Neshaminy State Park. These pictures were shot on Saturday the 18th. The battle was a reenactment of the Battle of the Monocracy, which is also know as the battle which saved Washington DC. Fought in 1864. More information can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monocacy

I experimented with some color changes to get more accurate feel of the battle. Let me know your thoughts.

One tough way to move a cannon.




A tough looking Confederate solider.

The colors move onto the battlefield.


The end result...


Confederate artillery responds and more troops move forward.


The battle rages on.



The aftermath of a bloody day.
