I heard that too! My friend actually found something about an extended edition of Gods and Generals on the internet, I'll see if I can find the link.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984551175322841464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-7815484914494474582011-01-28T19:27:23.672-05:002011-01-28T19:27:23.672-05:00Amy - Thank you for the kind words.

As a good friend of mine likes to say, "I take my fun seriously!"<br /><br />First person, by the way, is actually a lot easier than you might think. Hmmm...you're giving me an idea for an upcoming post...!Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-74023729347717143232011-01-28T14:09:36.159-05:002011-01-28T14:09:36.159-05:00Wow, you have got to be the most authentic-minded ...Wow, you have got to be the most authentic-minded reenactors I know. :) And yes, you are addicted. I'd be addicted too, if time allowed me.<br /><br />But you know there has always been one thing that has eluded me with regards to reenacting. It's learning to talk to the visitors in a period voice. First person reenacting, I guess. I'm rather shy, and I'm not very good at approaching people, and in fact, not very good at knowing what to say when people walk up to my tent, where I'm usually sewing or whatever. I've seen lots of articles/posts about how to do a first-person impression, but for us shy people, putting those tips into practice is scary as all get out (that's a southern expression).<br /><br />I commend you for your dedication. It's inspiring.<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-33661403559260916912011-01-27T11:10:50.891-05:002011-01-27T11:10:50.891-05:00I agree, Mary, Civil War movies help me as well.

We just watched "Ride With the Devil" last weekend.<br />I heard a rumor that they will be releasing the extended director's cut of Gettysburg and Gods & Generals (with more civilian scenes including Lincoln and Booth as well as the Antietam battle) on Blu-Ray this coming April. Oh man! I hope so!Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-22303926189440337352011-01-27T10:26:06.960-05:002011-01-27T10:26:06.960-05:00I know exactly how you feel!

Around this time every year I start having reenacting/history dreams and so I start watching every Civil War movie I can get my hands on and rereading my favorite Civil War novels. Well January is almost over so reenacting season is nearly upon us!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984551175322841464noreply@blogger.com
