 Antietam...Antietam. Yes, it was the largest civil war reenactment ever held; and of course we were there (who wasn't?). The company waiting (for a change?) before one of the several battle scenarios. Woody (barefoot, at center) is looking particularly amused by the whole affair!

Here's sergeant Haymaker looking rather "bunged" (i.e. dirty) and ready for the weekend! "...they were the dirtiest men I ever saw, a most ragged lean and hungry set of wolves.  Yet there was a dash about them that the northern men lacked."

The Antietam campaign saw many Confederate soldiers wearing cast-off or captured federal clothing and/or civilian garb. Of course, some of the 37th boys can't ever resist the temptation to "cut-up"!

First sergeant Ricky Lewis (left) and Corporal Tim Carr waiting for the "ball" to begin; and looking very serious about the business at hand!

Uh-oh!  Well I reckon at Antietam we did "hide in the woods"!  This looks kind of like a scene from "Lord of the Flies" if you ask me! Dave Clementson (left) and Tim in camp at Antietam, Sept. 1997
