The day before, they had marched 17 miles to reach a creek just in time to stave off a Union surge. They were worn out; their feet were blistered; and their bodies were caked with mud. A man viewing the battle with his son pointed to the soldiers as they passed by and said, "See, son, that's the way it really was." But it wasn't an actual Civil War battle. It was reenactment on the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. And Jones isn't a Confederate soldier. He's a history graduate student at USC and a member of the Palmetto Brigade, a group of Civil War buffs from across South Carolina who partcipate in battle reenactments. The Columbia resident is a seven-year veteran of battle reenactments at sites such as Gettysburg, Antietam and most recently, the Battle of Chickamagua reenactment Sept. 19 and 20. A reenactment is like a performance, Jones said. "It is equivalent to a play-drama on a stage except Ballroom Blitz t< benefit 'Aweson By KELLY C.

Even their clothes are identical to Civil War items ? right down to hand-sewn buttonholes and all-leather shoes, tanned and dried. The clothes are uncomfortable at times, Jones said, but they have given him insight into what Civil War soldiers endured.

Jones also discovered why the soldiers wore slouch hats with wide, flexible rims ? they keep rainwater from collecting and dripping down your back. The reenactors' devotion goes beyond replicating clothing and armaments, he said. The desire for accuracy carries over onto the battlefield. "You're always looking for a rush, that little moment when you look put and there is nothing modern to obscure the view and someone raises a song," Jones said. "Suddenly, you're there. For a moment, you're there." Jones said that being on the battle circuit has led to some deep friendships. "Some of the best friends I have, I've made through reenacting. Reenactors come from all walks of life. From trench diggers to millionaires to grad students. There's really no typical reenactor, but they all share a devotion to history," he said. "A lot of people think we're in it for some political motive or to refight the war," Jones said. But he denied that, saying, "We just want to make sure that the sacrifices of those people 125 years 1 ago are not forgotten." o showcase trio c le Alternative' st< nd the Blowfish, Lay "The show is very div e and Bedlam Hour will covers a wide musical Sf the Ballroom Blitz. said Dwayne Neil, WUS' bringing them all manager.
