  • Re-enacting Retro - The ultimate classic mid-20th century National Parks Film for the Shiloh National Military Park. Produced in 1956 and made largely by locals and volunteers - this film played at the park for decades. You're going to see allot of original uniforms, cannons, muskets and equipment used by the soldiers on screen. A great time-capsule.
    We hope you enjoy. This is another in a series of postings on our TH-cam channel of a cool New series of Old videos -- featured only on here -- taken from a personal collection of re-enacting films and videos from the 1980s that can't be found anywhere else, or else we've tried to find them for nostalgia's sake, but did our own digging and presenting the results of our treasure hunt here. Some are taken from VHS originals or DVD transfers from those VHS copies. Originals were in Standard Def or Videotaped off of TV when they first aired. Some shot professionally and others by individuals with "portable" home video cameras on their shoulders.
    Some Classic Re-enacting videos are already searchable on TH-cam, but we wanted to start a new series of some rarely or never before seen classics that either only aired once or where short lived and available only to a select few at the time. We hope you enjoy. These programs presented in this RE-ENACTING RETRO series are presented for the enjoyment of all and we don't claim them for ourselves.

    Living just 20 minutes away in Corinth,MS, I've been to Shiloh countless numbers of times. As a child, I went there several times on school "field trips" and watched this film. So many memories from watching this again.

    Excellent! Amazing how this older film portrays events in much clearer detail than most modern videos. Thanks so much for sharing this.

    Wow, thank you for posting! Grew up 4 miles away across the river from Pittsburg Landing. We used to could identify the locals & National Guard boys who participated in the filming. I guess I've seen this film 20 times with my TN History classes in the Visitors Center. Got to where I bought my own copy & showed it in class to save tour time. One little 7th grade girl turned around to me while we were watching it once and said wide-eyed, " Mr. Wilson, I know it's just a movie, but why aren't the cameramen getting shot?" Ha!

      True!
      But don't let the PC hothead hear you say that! History and heritage mean nothing to those SOB's! They dishonor every citizen, then and now!

    • @THE-HammerMan
      @THE-HammerMan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Sue Taft It's unclear who you mean, dishonoring...
      Look at it this way:
      History revolves around & thru wars- a simple fact. It's NOT that people love war as much as it is people(intelligent ones) love history.
      And ALL who have ever fought for countries DID NOT cause or start the wars-they just fought for their respective countries and deserve to be remembered & honored.
      Saying that Civil War monuments(southern ones) promotes & honors racism is plain WRONG. They are long ago HISTORIC things that should be preserved for their being there decades & decades & decades, if for nothing else. Racist my foot! That's like saying Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner cartoons promotes violence. Preposterous and stupid! I say preserve ALL HISTORIC SITES AS IS! If we don't, we lose a great part of our collective past and history that can never ever be restored.
      I simply love history...and I pray I'm not alone in that!

      My ancestor was an artillery sergeant for the Union who fought at Corinth. He was in his 40's and was mustered out after that due to his age.

      Tom D the 18th Louisiana was at the first battle of Corinth or siege of Corinth before they were shipped back to Louisiana . One of my great great or so grandfathers enlisted and fought in the 2nd Louisiana cavalry at the age of 49 , I believe he stayed till the end of the war
