Hunter's Raid 2008

We just had the big Civil War Reenactment event of the year here in Bedford. Hunter's Raid chronicles the Union general David Hunter's 1864 raid through Virginia. I went out for a moment while the troops were drilling early on Saturday morning. It was a great event that lasts all week end here in Bedford, the battle came right through the down town area here and the reenactors pull it off well. Local furniture factories donate old furniture for the union soldiers to steal, smash & burn as they come through. It's really a great event with lots of educational opportunities available for everyone through the history museum.
