US Civil War Battle camp life and battle re-enactment "Bringing history to life", Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon.

 

Fort Stevens was constructed during the US Civil War, initially to protect the Columbia River from a feared invasion by the British Navy, but also in case the Confederate forces crossed the country and sailed up the coast. It may seem odd, but Oregon has an actual Civil War era historical fort (later rebuilt for WW I and WW II).

 

Re-enactment by the Northwest Civil War Council, Oregon, nwcwc.net

 

Photographed with Nikon 1 V2 and cx 70-300mm lens.
