I'm dressing as my Great, great grandmother in a civil war reenactment in October. She traveled on 50 miles horseback with a baby to warn the Union officers of a confederate plot. The resulting battle was a victory and turning point for the Union in Kentucky.
The outfit I have purchased is no doubt, higher quality and more stylish than what my great, great grandmother actually wore. She lived on a farm, no slaves, family help only.
I did purchase a belt and pistol which I may have to return as it is pretty heavy. I'm will decide between the carbine rifle and sling as soon as the sling comes in the mail. I'm all set for Oct 25-26 love my outfit.
