Chin Music From A Greyhound: The Confessions of a Civil War Reenactor 1978-1987

This memoir is from a middle-aged Missourian who was part of the strange, yet fascinating world of Civil War Reenacting. I tell of my first taste of black powder, "seeing the elephant", fighting heat, rain, cold, mud, politics, movie stars, and live fire. From dog and pony show events to 125th anniversary spectaculars involving thousands of participants, I reveal the inside skinny on the hobby, as I saw it, with plenty of humor to tickle the funny bone.
