Me 5 years ago in AZ getting a tin type done. My truck was set on fire and one of the only thing to make it out of the fire was this. the outfit and gun burned up in the fire but I still have this.
Supposedly taken during the Union occupation of Raleigh. Actually, it is a re-enactment of the establishment of the signal station on the dome of the North Carolina State Capitol. The original signal station was set up by 2nd Lt George C. Round of the US Army Signal Corps in April of 1865 during the occupation of Raleigh. This photo appears in the 27th Annual Reunion of the Signal Corps, USA, Washington, DC, October 1902, from PC.142.2. This copy negative is in the General Negative Collection, North Carolina State Archives, Raleigh, NC.
I took this photo while walking around a Civil Re-enactment that took place in a park near my home in NJ. I didn't arrange these items. This is exactly how I found them.

I have been recently working with a Civil War Re-enactment model who has been very patient and enthusiastic. Certainly not straight out of camera but I felt it appropriate to have the image look as period as possible.
I hope that this will draw some positive attention. Definitely a departure from my previous work. Another Flickr account is starting to become a favorable choice for my portrait and theme imaging.
Thank you all for your patience, understanding, favs and comments. You are all great artists.

The past couple of weeks I have been working on this oil pastel and as I set it down for a moment today I thought it looked like an interesting photo so I shot this picture of it along with the source photo I have been working from.
Kentucky civil war reenactment .
Approximately 620,000 soldiers died from combat, accident, starvation, and disease during the Civil War. This number comes from an 1889 study of the war performed by William F. Fox and Thomas Leonard Livermore. Both men fought for the Union.
On April 9, 1865, the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia in the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House, Virginia signaled the end of the Civil War in the United States (1861-1865). House where printing press was kept. Pardons were printed for ex-Confederate soldiers to allow them to go home.

5 of our 6 Lego Civil War Collaborative builders for Brickfair 2013, our first event. Couldn't find JP Preston around anywhere when we took this Sunday night. Hugely positive reception for this display, which was the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, plus some other Civil War displays to the side. We will definitely be doing this again for Scouting for Bricks and Brickfair 2014, only then we will be featuring MOCs of 1864 events. Huzzah!
