An Actual Confederate Camp

When we arrived, we discovered dozens and dozens of tents set up in three areas. In the first area the tents contained concessions, food and drinks. In the next area the tents contained Civil War and Confederate Army souvenirs, clothing, books, artifacts, jewelry, weapons and antiques. In a separate area the tents were reproductions of actual Confederate camps. This area was occupied by hundreds of people wearing what appeared to be authentic Confederate Army uniforms and gear, with a few uniformed Union Army personnel thrown in for good measure.
