Here we have the most sacred of southern traditions: The Civil War re-enactment. Here's a bunch of pics from the first battle of Columbia. Pic 1: My Uncle Squirrel ( his name's really Terry) with the white beard looking at the camera. Pic 2: A couple of guys that have been "killed". The guy with the hat over his eyes put it there after being on the ground a few minutes, and took a nap. Pic 3: My brother Miki and his buddy Lewis. Lewis is in the wierd hat w/ the red pompom on top and Miki is to his right behind him. You can only see Miki's head above the wheel. Both Miki and Uncle Squirrel were on the cannons, and got to make a lot of noise and blow up some gun powder. Miki and Lewis' Positions were called Powder Monkeys. Squirrel was something else but I can't remember. and finally...Pic 4: General Lee, or at least the guy who played him. All in all it was fun to watch, very noisy and historical. and in case you're wondering, SC won the 1st battle but them D*#% Yankees got us in the 2nd.
