I just read the "Siege of Socorro" article over at dchieftain.com. It sounds like a fun event! Oh, and Rene, definitely check out those sites if you can. Even in only a couple of hours you can see a lot at Antietam, but Gettysburg, at least for me, usually takes a couple of days to see a good portion of it. Thanks Victoria.

It takes place in February, and what makes this battle unique is that the forces battle door-to-door through the tiny village. As troops near the town plaza, artillery fire can be heard, and seen, as pyrotechnics explode in the plaza trees with each volley. For those looking for Civil War history in NM, this is a great event. Another excellant civil war reenactment in New Mexico is in Socorro.

After we were at Golondrinas, it made me bummed that we didn't stop to see the Gettysburg or Antietam battlefields. We had never experienced a living history museum or event on this scale before, but will definitely make it a point to do so next time we're in a cool place like VA. That is pretty cool, Tintypes.

Antietam was especially memorable as it was part of a film shoot ("Antietam: A Documentary Film") and we actually were allowed in the sunken lane. It was very humbling. Anyway, great photos. I still have a lot to learn about the western theatre of the war.
