Expert Profile: Gary Adams

Expertise:  If it has to do with reenacting and is connected with the War of Secession, I can help. I am familiar with uniforms, food, tactics, “Authentic” you name it.

Experience in the area
I began reenacting before most of you were born (22 years) and became interested in the War in the 4th grade. Virginia used to teach a whole year on the War, I lived through the bicentennial and I am reincarnated. :-)

Organizations
Reenactment groups, HPA, SCV.

Publications
North and South

Education/Credentials
Assisted editor Southorn Reenactor, consultant with several books and magazines. Even though I have a B/A I continue taking any class on the war that I can find.

What do you like about this subject?  I enjoyed the comradely, learning what they must have experienced, the heat, the cold the confusion of close battle. The one thing I have always argued is telling the public you’re honoring your fore fathers by reenacting. You can tell who has seen combatant and who has not. I did it to show the public the horror, honor and stupidity of war.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Because of medicial issues I had to quit now I waiting for some smart butt to reenact Veterans Homes.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Watching anyone reenact must be boring but one needs to open their minds, hearts and senses. Once you smell the gun powder, hear the noise all one needs to is close their eyes and it is 1863.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  So would you fight for your State or the National government? Would you do it today?
