This had to be one of the most spectator friendly events I have ever been to, as reenactors often the action is quite removed from the public, especially for the cavalry engagements. However, at Stanardsville, we were right in front of the crowd, my hat is off to the organizers, and to Megan for putting together such a fine presentation.

I would love to know how to get a hold of the group. My husband and I would like to join them. Could you send me your contact for them? You did a fantastic job on the pictures. Thank you for putting together such a beautiful slide presentation with the voice of the actors. Thank you again.

Great pictures of the Battle of Stanardsville, you captured the emotion of the event beautifully.  Can I possibly get a copy of the drummer photo (my son)?  I’ve not been able get any candid shots of him prior to this.

Great Pics, War re-enactments escape me, but you’ve got to admire their enthusiasm

Megan - Well done!  On my web site at school, I have a biography section with info about my reenacting hobby and about the Battle of Stanardsville; could I get a copy of your multimedia and could I put it on my website?
