27 years ago I got into Civil War reenacting. Did it with a group in NC for a few years and during one mock battle I put my sword through my hat, lifted it and shouted "charge". A union reenactor said look "he thinks he's Armistead"...my group never stopped calling me since.
Our group did partake of the movies Gettysburg and Gods and General. No, I wasn't Armistead in either, they had a great reenactor who was also a stage actor do that role. I did die 3 times and you can see my face for a total of 3 seconds in Gettysburg... I'm the great looking guy, can't miss me.
