I am working on a photography project about the 150th anniversary (sesquicentenial) of the United States civil war. Living in Northern Virginia, I am in a prime location. I am an hour or less from several major battlesites, including Manassas (Bull Run), Antietam, and Gettysburg. This project will last over the coming four years.
On May 23, 1861, under the command of Thomas (soon to be "Stonewall") Jackson, confederate forces appropriated a large set of railroad equipment, including locomotives, cars, tools, and track, from the B&O Railroad for use in the rebel cause. As a result of damage to the tracks, the equipment had to be moved overland. For a full description, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson's_operations_against_the_B%26O_Railroad_(1861) Pictured here is reenactor and historian Arthur Candenquist who presented on the Great Train Raid at Zion Church in Aldie, Virginia on November 13, 2011. He was dressed as, and spoke from the perspective of Confederate Captain Thomas R. Sharp.
