Musket Training

Young Musket Trainer
Originally uploaded by rudimyers

Every year, Cowpens Battlefield celebrates the anniversary of the battle. People will dress in costume and walk the route to the battle site (a National Park). This time, the crowd attending was very large, and there were also many more reenactors. My husband and older son walked around with the Tiger Cub Den and participated in different activities and watched demonstrations. This picture was taken when our younger son and I caught up just in time for the musket training. The younger son jumped right in to train (older son is in the orange cap at the edge of the picture).
