The North Carolina 7th Cavalry participates annually in a Civil War Encampment & Living History at Laurel Hill near Ararat, North Carolina. I started attending these presentations several years ago when the father of one of my students, a member of the NC 7th Cavalry, let me know that he'd be participating.
I've attending each year since then because Private Bullock makes sure to stop by school to let me know when they're held. This year his daughter is in my fifth grade class and is participating in the Living History weekends herself, much to the delight of her dad.
If you get a chance to view one of these presentations, please do so because they are an accurate portrayal of a part of the history of this great nation. We would not have become so great without having been sorely tested and tempered first!
