1863, The Confederate Army in Florida is under attack

 These photos are the property of MadSnapper and were taken by me in 2012 in Parrish Florida

It was a hot day in April 1883.  The train rocked and the sound of clack clack clack, clack clack clact filled my ears as the Johnny Rebel soldiers walked from car to car.  The car I was in rocked side to side, I could feel danger in the air.  The puffing steam and cinders mixed with the smell of Gunsmoke puffed in the open windows.  

The distant sound of gunfire was a steady background of noise.  

The soldiers of the 2nd Florida Volunteer Infantry were ready for battle, even the very young that were still in their teens were ready. 

The Confederate Army was under attack from the US Army and needed assistance quickly.

Both sides were falling to the ground by the dozens.

I had watched the Volunteers board the train and ducked into a seat behind two ladies hoping heir wide skirts would hide the fact I did not blend my clothing of capri pants and t-shirt with DSLR Camera and its long lens. I hoped they would not notice I was from another time, April 2012.

 I huddled by the window, they both stood, the woman in the white shawl poined out the window . 

Look, there they are, Look can you see the battle?

The other lady started for the back of the rocking car.

I turned to the window, the smoke was thick, the sound was fierce

Snap! I caught the smoke

Snap! I caught the Yankees sneaking up on the Rebel in the water tower.

Snap! just as he fired

As I fired my camera madly, I screamed NOOOOO! He's Hit.
