Dennis Neal Attending Quotations

We do both impressions. We attend many reenactments as Federal (soldiers). It's just part of the hobby and required by our unit. Attending an event as a Yankee adds to the experience by allowing you to appreciate the differences, but know that on a common soldiers level there were little differences.

We generally attend three battle reenactments in the spring and three in the fall. Most years we attend a national event, which is kind of like the Super Bowl of reenacting. Numbers attending those events can easily exceed 10,000 soldiers like myself, complete with cavalry and artillery.
