Here are my thoughts on the Battle of Fort Sanders reenactment. It is only a few miles from my home, so I thought I'd go scope it out. This started as a forum reply, but it got so long I decided to make an article out of it. Enjoy!  

I was able to go check out the Sunday battle and look over the site a little. For the most part it is what you'd expect compared to most events we attend. The site is on private property and is actually quite large and spread out. The replica fort is a good distance from the road, but that is by design, to avoid power lines and other modern artifacts. The land is quite contoured, and I could tell that getting vehicles in and out could pose some issues if the weather is very wet. Still, it has been pretty wet lately and they managed to get in and out OK.
