Blast from the pastby ~Rennon-the-Shaved

Photography / Photojournalism / Public Gatherings & Events

Today I went to a small Civil War re-enactment camp and historical marker dedication in Napoleon, Ohio. Camp Latty was a Union enlistment and training camp located along the bank of the Maumee River.

A new recruit shoots his rifle over the river. You can see little bits of the disintegrated paper blank round, which flew right at me. I love that black powder smell.

He's got an Enfield... Those things are fun to fire either blank or live. Some times I load a round up in mine on New Years Eve and pop it off at midnite.

BTW this looks like he might be the Captain, f I see those shoulder boards right.

Ohio contributed a lot of volunteer regiments during the war. Only NY and Pennsylvania contributed more recruits.

That rifle is really cutting edge. (horrible pun)

He sure would have showed that lake who's boss.
