I do believe that is the battle that is re-acted around our church building very year. We hold church in a historic building at the Pioneer Living History Museum in far north Phoenix. We have both Confederate and Union soldiers at the service who usually have camped out to fight the battle in the morning.

Towards the end of the service, they slip out the back. Then, we start hearing the cannon and musket fire. As we leave, the same soldiers that sat through church are now chasing each other around creosote bushes and saguaro cactus. Gives one a different perspective on history.

Indeed. Very cool idea for a church service. I like that a lot. It gives you an idea of what the people living during Civil War times really went through.
