Another battle, another loss. Kind of feel like the White Sox when they play the Twins or the Twins when they play the Yankees. Yankees! Right here at Tara?
Not sure if we (meaning the Southrons) lost on the battlefield re-enactment, but I sure did get "lost" in the parking lot.
Took US-12 to Bonner Road and then Fairfield Road to the Lake County Lakewood Forest Preserve. Free parking in a field and I was able to save the $8 admission because of my membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) as I was going to be manning the recruitment tent.
CONFEDERATE VETERAN AND HALLOWED GROUND MAGAZINES
I brought along some old Confederate Veteran and Hallowed Ground magazines. Confederate Veteran is the magazine of the SCV, continuing the magazine used by our father organization, the United Confederate Veterans, made up of real Johnny Rebs. We give these magazines to men who wander over and look to be interested. Let's them get a better idea of what the whole organization is about.
The Hallowed Ground Magazine is the mouthpiece of the Civil War Preservation Trust and a magazine every Civil War enthusiast should subscribe to by belonging to the organization. It does not favor either side and is only interested in preserving and saving land made hallow by the sacrifices of Americans all those years ago.
Back in spring, the magazine ran articles on Fort Sumter that have to be the best short history I've ever read of the engagement. Mighty interesting.
