Reenactment in Painesville, Ohio, at the Lake County Historical Center! July 14th, 2012 (or 1862, if you prefer!).
 |
| Tried to make sure the background was period appropriate! |
 |
| Back view. The bodice isn’t fitting quite right, but I think (hope) that mostly took care of itself with new underpinnings. |
 |
| The strange juxtaposition of troops marching, hoopskirts, shorts and t-shirts, and kettle corn, with “telegraph” wires? |
 |
| Working reproduction Gatling – made from the original patent drawings and instructions. The Gatling was barely used during the Civil War – it largely came into use after; versions of this gun are still in use today. |
Most sincerely yours,
