Battle of Chickamauga

Wade House, Greenbush, Wisconsin

I went to the Civil War re-enactment at Wade House. They re-enacted the Battle of Chickamauga. It is the 150th anniversary of the 1863 battle in Georgia. "Finally, after two days of heavy fighting, Union forces retreated and took refuge in the city of Chattanooga." -Wade House.

This photo shows the Calvary of both sides fighting with swords, while in the background a gun battle ensues.

A very realistic scene Cindy.
l didn't know that they fought with swords as well as guns.
The poor soldiers drawn into such a battle.

A great moody shot of this actions.
Chilling realistic. I just cannot imagine the horror of being in such a fight.

Great action, Cindy! I love the overall color tones - the slightly softened tones
make this very much like a painting. Your talent is showing :)
