Oak Ridge Living History
by 1st Lt. John Stewart

6-pounder gunOn Friday, March 26th, the 1st Regiment N.C. Artillery supported the 21st NCST in a living history at Oak Ridge Military Academy, located between Greensboro and Colfax, North Carolina.

Billy Horne and John Stewart were assisted by three members of the 21st in manning the 6-pounder gun. A period camp was set up and the students got to see camp life, drill, infantry firing, and best of all, our 6-pounder being shot... which sent a thunderous roar across the field.

It was quite interesting to hear how little the students knew about the War Between the States.
