From FARB to PARD: A story of Civil War Reenactment

Down the road a person goes early on a friday morning. He is dressed in a blue woolen uniform that is getting rather warm in the summer air. He stops for gasoline and is asked if he is going to be in a movie. He replies, "That he is off to fight the 133rd battle of Valle Verde." This man is known as a Civil War reenactor and lives for this adventure no matter where the location and state. This is a very fast growing hobby and hundreds make up the fighting men and while thousands of people watch and get thrilled.
