    That road is in better condition than 90% of interstates in Pennsylvania.

    That takes some effort. Salute those soldiers and animals. A war of extremes in every respect.

    Really Good Looking Confederate Troops there. Almost like peeking Through the looking glass back into Time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Half of them are overweight…don’t think there were any overweight infantry men in the ranks in 1863

    My G-grandfather served with the Bloody Eighth, from Battle of Leesburg thru to Saylors Creek.

    My ancestor was in the 6th Virginia Reg. Anybody knows if they reenact that Regiment?

    Do you think there should be more shoeless reenactors in the hobby? I feel like having no shoes is underrepresented for both sides. Thanks!

    Only Confederate soldiers were shoeless during the war, Federal Soldiers ever had to worry about going shoeless. It would be great to see some rebs go shoeless, you hardly ever see it. As a Federal Soldiers Reenactor I don't do shoeless, don't have to!! Federals had plenty of shoes in there warehouse's, Quarter Masters keep track what we had.

    @@jamesrichardson3322 I can't accurately recall but I do remember hearing a story that during a campaign, some federals shoes wore out and they couldn't get resupplied because the wagon train couldn't reach them. They definitely had the resources but maybe sometimes they just couldn't reach them.

    As someone mentioned seems like all (or most) of the reenactors had shoes. If I remember right that was a main goal for the ANV while in Pennsylvania, finding shoes. Nice to think of a time before satellites and drones when you could move an army behind a screen of mountains

    Too many of them have shoes. At least 1/3 should be barefoot
