In doing some research for the history of Civil War reenacting, I happened upon these two clips:
1) 1862 - A Civil War Re-Enactment (made in 1962!)
"1862 is a Civil War short comprised of early 8mm color film of Civil War re-enactment footage taken in the early 60s by the Kersten Family. Local Phoenix celebrities and artists such as, Wallace and Ladmo, Mike Condello and the Kerstens got together to have fun playing in the desert surrounding Phoenix. Most of the film shot in B&W was used on the Wallace and Ladmo Show in Phoenix Arizona. The color home movie footage used here was never intended to be used on the air and has never been seen by the public, until now."
2) What's Up Wit That? Civil War Recreationists (June 18, 1997 by Fired Up Productions)
Basically, its a show that interviews 3 reenactors about reenacting. Its a half hour show. The show, a series called "What's Up Wit That?" is based out of the San Fransisco bay area and hosted by Andrew Willyoung.
I thought both were interesting in their own way, if you get what I am saying.
