Pleasant Hill Reenactment 2012 photos by Mike Jones

Here are some of the pictures I took at the 2012 Pleasant Hill reenactment on Saturday, April 14. On that day they were reenacting a scenario based on the Battle of  Mansfield, April 8, 1864. The weather was good and the reenactment was excellent.

This is an excellent reproduction of the 12th Louisiana Infantry battle flag.

Learning the fine points of stacking arms.

beautiful war horse.

The Confederates were triumphant at the end of the
reenactment, driving the Union Army off the field.

Reenactors gave the public a great
visualization of both1860s miliatry and
civilians.
