Copied from "Battle of Selma Authority, Inc. - Letter to
Principals
and Teachers", Ray Hogg
The nineteenth annual Battle of
Selma Civil War Re-enactment will be
held on April 13, 2007. The Battle of
Selma Authority, Inc. would like
to extend a special invitation to your
school to visit our Battlefield
Park (located on the banks of the historic
Alabama River) on Friday,
April 13, 2007 for our "School Days at the Battle
of Selma." We will
have an organized agenda of living history lectures in
addition to
tours of the Confederate and Union campsites. Your students will
get
to see first hand how soldiers fought, dressed and lived during
the
Civil War. We feel that our "School Days at the Battle of Selma"
will
make an exciting and enjoyable field trip for students of all ages.
The admission price for this year's "School Days" is $5.00.
1.
Each "session" will have 8 to 10 interpretive stations conducted by
"living
historians" lasting 10 minutes each. These "stations" will
possibly include
an artillery (cannon) drill and firing; a lesson on
the various uniforms worn
during the Civil War; an infantry drill and
firing (with an explanation on
the rifles being fired); a field
hospital and medial/surgical demonstration;
musicians of the period
(using period instruments); mounted Calvary (with
real horses); a
blacksmith; a telegraph station; a photographer; the Henry
Rifle
Company; a cooking demonstration; and an actual campsite.
Each
"session" will last approximately an hour and thirty minutes.
2. It is very
important that you arrive approximately 30 minutes
before your scheduled
starting time, as it is a nice little walk from
the parking area to the
battlefield. Upon arrival, someone will meet
with your bus/car and give you
directions. We will start promptly at
12:00 p.m. each day. If you are late,
you will miss part of your
"session."
Once your group has concluded
their session, they will be free to roam
the 40 acre site for as long as they
please (you may arrive early or
stay late). There are many other things to
see and do. There is a
Sutler (souvenir) area that will have some 40 Sutlers
and food/beverage
booths. You are encouraged to bring picnic lunches.
Other vendors will be at the site selling hamburgers, French
fries,
pizzas, etc. Your students may also want to bring some extra money
to
buy souvenirs or T-shirts from the many Sutlers that will be located
at
the site.
