Civil War Reenactments
Back in 2013, I attended the Civil War Days reenactment in Huntington Beach, CA.

I was taken by the period, the dress, and the solemn look upon the faces of the reenactors. Here you will find my collection of images for you to browse and enjoy.
Some years ago, while at a concert by Placentia Symphonic Band, I listened to Richard Hall as he sang Bring Him Home. You may know this piece from Les Misérables. At the time, I had been taking photos at the civil war reenactments. So I thought the two would go together nicely.Â
The lyrics-
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
Special thanks to Dr. Collette Hausey.
