Advancing picket lines. The crack of the muskets. The blast of cannons. Taunts shouted across a battlefield.

This was the Battle of Burnsville.

A group of Civil War re-enactors put on a great show Sunday afternoon to bring history alive. Although we’re not quite sure just what history we were watching in action. Something about a fight between a group of Union marauders and a Confederate unit of the Home Guard. We’ll try to track down more about the real Battle of Burnsville. But for now, enjoy photos of this re-creation.
