Co. C, 53rd Pennsylvania Infantry
Photos from Past Events

Mid-June saw the first big event of the season - The Wilderness,Cold Harbor, Spotsylvania Reenactment held in Brandy Station, VA. The numbers were smaller than expected and the Sunday rains diminished the size of the Cold Harbor battle - but all in all, it was an enjoyable weekend. I didn't get many good pictures, but here's a few. (Scott Kunkle)
