Eight of the nation's leading Civil War
historians will be at USC Thursday and Friday for
a symposium titled "1863: The Critical Year of the
Civil War."
The symposium will discuss why the South lost,
as well as the roles of Abraham Lincoln, Robert E.
Lee and Jefferson Davis. All sessions are free and
open to the public, with morning sessions beginnin

Afternoon and evening sessions are at 2p.m., 3:30
p.m. and 8 p.m. in Gambrell Hall Auditorium.
Confederate soldier Gordon Jones and a buddy
hobbled across the battlefield. 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.

the stage happens to be a very large field." Like actors,
he said, participants must fall to the ground <
or charge up a hillside ? whatever history's script *
calls for. 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.

those worn in the Civil War wear out quickly ? the
reason many fought barefooted. 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."
