The WCWA's summer reenactment season started this weekend at Deep Creek. While the 4th was not present as a unit, several members made the cross-state trek to participate. Captain Jones once again served ably as both aide-de-camp to General Grant and bodyguard to President Lincoln. Mr. Talbot crossed to the grey side to portray General Lee, with his usual skill and attention to detail . The blog-mistress introduced several visitors to running stitch and dip pens, in service of a USAS quilting project.
Highlights of the larger event included a lantern tour, a full schedule of presentations, beautiful weather*, and several hundred happy, inquisitive visitors. Mr. & Mrs. Michie of the 1st Michigan Artillery, in particular, are to be commended for their skilled organization of the proceedings. It is hoped that the experience will often be repeated.
