An interesting insight from the days when popular interpretations of the ACW were still very much focused on reconciliation to the point of not looking too closely at what the Confederate cause was about.
Having to apologise for re-enacting history at the historical re-enactment. Bloody hell.
One group had names like Tarquin and Sebastian
Would be interested in a post on drawing vs pulling bows and other bow-related bow-wows.@Noone Important has written an article, presented Here, that looks at ways of finding out why certain little details in the past happened the way they did.
Discuss.
David's article gave me a wry chuckle or three. My favourite example of re-enactors discovering what really went on was a TV series where a group of ordinary blokes spent a weekend being Roman legionaries. They were provided with full armour but also what we would call cap comforters-woollen hats (tin hats are none to comfortable ). They started wearing these when doing camp duties. The consulting archaeologist was amazed. She had seen carvings of legionaries wearing something on their heads but hadn't worked out what they were!
