That MC could have won the war single-handedly by talking the Union army to death.  The last minute and a half is worth the watch. |

WATJ: Paul Branch, the MC and chief ranger for the park is a great guy and knowledgeable historian but I agree that there was a bit too talk. Imagine standing there in 90 degree heat wearing those uniforms. It was hot. |

Imagine standing there in 90 degree heat wearing those uniforms. It was hot. No need to imagine. I've done it! I was a red leg (#2 man like YOU!) for about 6 years. Served on a full scale ordinance rifle, 10# parrot rifle, a mountain howitzer and was a ringer on a 12# napoleon. Never anything as big as a 32# though. Impressive! But yes. I've endured the talks. I am sure the ranger/MC was quite knowledgeable or he would not be in the position he was in. Just needs to know his audience and consider the guys wearing wool too!  |

One of my first assignments as a reenactor way back in the early 1990's,since I loaned my musket to a pard,was as a backup crewman on a mountain howitzer. I did get to help shift the carriage a bit,then stood back. |
