I’ve been to a few re-enactments and they’re pretty amazing. Even though the guys are typically older and fatter than a typical soldier of the time, watching them walk across an open field with cannons and guns firing really gives you a feeling about the battle, rather than simply reading “Lee did this and then Meade did that...”
I went to one at Sandy Run just down I26 from Columbia and saw a replica of a Williams Repeating Cannon which I had never heard of.
I bagged a little footage of it. I’ve seen it one time since but didn’t see it firing.
