My hubby is our history buff and he has always been interested in the Civil war. He's read libraries of books on
the subject! This year was the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and there have been reenactments all over the country. Ben has always really wanted to go to a re-enactment. Well, the kids and I kept it a surprise as long as we could, but my Western town had a Civil War reenactment for the first time. Apparently, right after the Civil War, some Civil War soldiers were sent to out West because of some skirmishes with the Native Americans. The reenactment was of Caspar Collins the leader of the Calvary that lost the battle vs about 1.000 Native Americans who banned together from multiple tribes..
They were massacred by over a thousand Indians.

The reenactment was pretty home-grown. The funny thing is that they even
had to do it !twice!, because during the first battle, the "Indians" were too excited and jumped out to kill the Calvary too early Despite it being "home-grown" it still got a claim to fame as being the largest re-enactment West of the Mississippi. It was entertaining to see some Indians chasing after Civil war soldiers on horses. I think the horses running around and the cannon fire were the best parts

Okay...now I'm off to settle my own skirmishes and get kids where they need to be

Thanks for that, i'll look it up.
Very interesting.
Points!!!
Good luck in your own skirmish.

More importantly, how neanderthal are you?

We owe them so much of our personalities.

We have already established that in the year 2003 the Earth officially had 2 moons.
In 2004, that figure had changed.
How many moons did the Earth officially have, according to astronomers, in 2004 ?

One, I would guess. Unless we're counting silly things like asteroids.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Satellite moons.

That's totally cheating. You're only supposed to look at your picture when the confirmation thread is posted.

Kidding... I just like seeing everyone's tortsies and turtles.

In 2003 Cruithne, with its horseshoe orbit was recognized as a moon.
in 2004 three more moons were introduced, 2000PH5, 2000WN10 and 2002AA29 were all acknowledged as moons.
They have all since been declassified as moons and are now quasi-satellites, because their orbits are not dependent on the Earth, or affected by it and vice versa.
