I don’t know what I was expecting when I went to the re-enactment – possibly something like the large US Civil War re-enactments I had seen pictures of and read about. These seem to be serious affairs with hundreds, even thousands of participants.

This was nothing like that. The above picture shows ALL of the uniformed re-enactors. If you add in the female re-enactors it was probably less that 40 in all. They seemed to be enjoying themselves though.

For a sense of how seriously some people take these re-enactments take a look at Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz.
