I was able to attend a living history event at Stones River recently and was able to observe the firing of a six gun Federal battery. It was great see see the crews in action and hear the roar of all six guns firing! I knew two of the gunners and after the event me and my family were invited to done some period coats and take some up close and personal pictures with the guns! It was a great experience and a huge "thank you" is definitely owed them!
