Period 'I do'
Civil War weddings are not uncommon among those involved in period re-enactments. But those scheduled at Camp Nelson's Civil War Days in September will have a new twist. They'll replicate Camp slave marriages. See Bugle Briefs. (Period weddings to be featured at Camp Nelson)

Cold-handed death
Re-enacting in 100-degree heat is one thing, but re-enacting a Civil War conflict in a foot of snow is another. This one took place at Spring Mill Village, Ind., on a desolate day in February. The Union soldier taking aim on a Confederate opponent is Eric Wilson. Colder still is his "dead" comrade at lower left. – Times-Mail photo by Garet Cobb Mitchell

Four of many
The many Confederate national flags included (from left) the first national with seven stars, the first national with 13 stars, the third national with a red vertical stripe and the Bonnie Blue flag with a large white star – flown at the beginning of the war. See story.
