We had the pleasure of attending a presentation by David Plett with Freedom's Story Presentations. If you love the idea of having history brought to life by a teacher who loves what he does, then you ought to see about attending or scheduling a presentation! You can learn more about Freedom's Story Presentations by going here. You can learn about pricing by going here and feel free to *like* Freedom's Story Presentations on Facebook while you are there!

Here David Plett has the children demonstrate
casualties to gain a better understanding of what it was like.
As David gears up, he demonstrates how equipment was worn,
explains the names of the items and what they were for.
There are some surprising reasons behind the style,
material and design of each item!
Fire!
The most exciting and anticipated moment for the kids!
We didn't know the history behind the flags
which were used in battle. Fascinating!
Everyone breaks half-way to explore the camp.
This really helped the kids to keep focus for the
second half of the two-hour presentation! :)
Oh how the taste buds were happy!
You simply *must* try this Civil War Gingerbread!
*It was easy to have a bring-your-own-chairs-or-blankets and whatever-else-you-may-need type of event.
