#11-3 Civil War re-enactment–Yuma Battery

The Yuma Sun newspaper has a section every day that tells what is going on around the area. We read about the Civil War battles and battle field re-enactment being held in Old Town Yuma over the weekend, so we went one afternoon. It was very well done, with tents and supply stores, an old time vaudeville show and even a battlefield hospital.

The tents that the Confederate soldiers slept in and the operating tent are pictured above.

Above is the Gatling gun that the Union soldiers used against the Confederates. One battle we saw, the Confederate’s won, the next the Union soldiers won. It was a nice day, and we had a nice time.
