May 2011

 

 

 
Members of the 46th NC Co. K "Catawba Braves" set-up a Civil War village in the center of downtown Catawba on May 14-15, 2011.  The re-enactors showed visitors what life was like in the 1860s and presented a variety of demonstration on how men, women and children lived during the American Civil War. 
 
The town of Catawba is located in the eastern part of Catawba County.  It is one of the oldest towns between Salisbury and Asheville, having been selected as an early railroad station.  Trains ran to the town before the War Between the States, beginning about 1859.

Fixin' some lunch over an open camp fire and eating together ...

 

 

 

 

... While some clean their guns and display them proudly

 

 

Some used the time before the next battle to catch up on a little sleep

 

 

 

 

Everyone slept in tents and lean-to's at night to keep warm and dry at night

 

 

 

 
There was a battle scheduled for 2:00 PM Sunday afternoon, but unfortunately I was scheduled to be at the Loftin Family Reunion at the Methodist Church at the same time.  Maybe I'll get some battle photos next time.
