On Saturday, October 18th. we drove the 3 hours from central Pennsylvania, to Middletown to experience the best re-enactment I have ever witnessed. We spent the entire day, enjoyed The Cavalry Battle of Tom's Brook and then The Battle of Third Winchester. In between battles, we visited the Federal camp, and toured and spent money on Sutlers Row. Next year, we are doing both Saturday and Sunday. Thank you so much for posting !!
@ 18:20 would include my Great Grandfather "William J. Pillow". He was only 19 years old & I often think how close I came to not being here. He was enlisted in the 13th West Virginia, Company B in Hayes = 2nd Division. I've got letters he wrote while at Cedar Creek & Winchester. Hope to make it to the Battlefield this Spring. Thanks, for taking the time to do this video. It's appreciated.
A fighting girl? Now that's a first. I've heard stories of female "spy's" and such, like the story of Molly Morehead, who alerted Nathan Bedford Forrest about yankee cavalry in the area. I've also heard a few stories about other young women helping the CS cause, but not actually fighting in numbers portrayed by modern reenactors. Back then, they disguised themselves so you couldn't tell they were women. just my two cents as a bullheaded kid. :) Keep at it, it's better than what kids these days do.
At 15:00, Confederate Cavalry form up for battle. At 18:38, the Confederates are pushing Union personnel out of their camps. At 19:24, Confederate Infantry pursues fleeing Union Infantry. At 20:08, the Confederate vanguard advances onto the field. 20:53 Confederate Cavalry join the fight. At 22:00, Union Cavalry delaying Confederate advance, followed by Confederate Infantry pushing Union Infantry back. At 22:19, Confederate Artillery besiege Union lines. 24:44 Union and Confederate Infantry engage. At 25:30, Union forces retreat off the high ground. At 26:25, Union forces begin pushing Confederates back. At 27:05 Confederate forces attempt to take as much of their captured Union heavy weaponry with their retreating army. At 28:00, Confederate forces are in total disarray, and retreat.
Wonderful video, thank you for making it. I will have to agree with Gary Whitla though, seeing the farbs takes away from your creation for a reenactor such as myself.
Great music from these musicians
I agree!

I wish I owned stock in brass heart breast straps.
Great quality footage, with some mistakes like garbage bags, sunny d bottles, hamburger bun bags, etc. I love the cavalry in the creek part.
Yep, I need to watch out for the modern stuff.
Nice clean battlefield
Show us maps & what happened, not reinactors. Exiting out.
