Love history? Why not live it? Reenacting history is more than just
an exciting pastime; it is a powerful educational medium that
breathes life into our heritage. This guide will inspire
African-Americans to attend Civil War battle reenactments and join
in the living history experience as reenactors representing either
military roles or civilians in non-combat roles. Discussions
include the basic requirements of this hobby and the rationale for
participating, but reenacting as a means of celebrating the heroic
deeds of black people during the Civil War is the primary focus of
the text. Brief biographical sketches of such notable figures as
Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, a description of plantation
life with quotes from slave narratives and Civil War documents,
occupations of slaves and "free people of color," interviews with
reenactors, numerous illustrations of appropriate wearing apparel,
and much more will delight "living historians," who must be
knowledgeable about the life experience of slaves and free persons.
An extensive annotated bibliography of reference sources is a bonus
for both for Civil War reenactors and for school library
collections.
