2004 RE-ENACTMENT During the Living History Weekend, visitors ride on the passenger pontoon boat, Copt. Johnny, operated by Stuart Wescott of Manteo and get a close view of the Albemarle and Yankee boat. Throughout the weekend, soldiers also participate in street skirmishes, but use black gun powder instead of bullets as a safety precaution. On one side street, Confederate soldiers, including a boy with a drum, are marching down the street. One man yells, ' Yankee got silver out of house." Then gunfire echoes through the smoke- filled street. As the Confederate soldier moves forward, one soldier yells, "Ready, aim, fire." Immediately, a Union solider in a navy blue uniform fires a shot, and a Confederate soldier falls to the ground. For spectators like Zach Jennings of King, the re- enactment offers him a chance to see history come to life. "It is awesome and interesting," says Jennings. The weekend includes more than street skirmishes. Sometimes, participants replicate 19th-century celebrations. During one afternoon, re-enactors, Terry Harwood and Jimmy Phillips of Middlesex exchange vows at the historic Latham House. The bride is wearing a long off-the- shoulder ball gown. Phillips is dressed in a brown and blue Confederate sergeant's uniform. Before the ceremony, the bride descends the stairs and then walks onto the porch. The couple chose a period wedding to showcase their Civil War hobby to friends and family. The groom has been attending the Civil War event since 1996 and portrays a 1 st sergeant with the 47th N.C. Volunteers. The bride serves as a commissary sergeant, cooking three meals a day over an open fire. "My husband's great-great-grandfather was in the Confederacy," she says. "So it all fits together."
