In Confederates In The Attic Tony goes to many a re-enactment. The guys were all "super hard core" meaning they totally LIVED like the soldiers, eating what they ate, wearing home-spun clothing, the whole enchilada. They scorned those who didn't go all the way with the re-enactment bit. For some guys, this is pretty much all they do all year long.


like climbing Mount Everest, it sounds like mental illness.
