Artillery Capt Bober's bet that "we can die faster than you can" pays off. Sgt. Baxter decides to make the best of the situation and uses the gun as protection. |

The 79th NY and the 2nd Mayland take the field. And no, our ranks are NOT mixed up! It's a new manouver. I can even show you the manouver order in.. er.. yeah, Scotts drill book! |

Would someone tell me why Capt. McFiddis is stabbing the flag? You have to stick rebs! REBS! |

One of our lads is found to be a turncoat, and is promptly placed under guard! According to later reports, this didn't help, as "Mad Bob" went on to keep the ranks of the 79th under fire the rest of the battle. |
|
|
It may not be served on the captain's good silver, but it sure tasted good! |
|
|

|
Why do the ladies get so much pleasure and amusement from watching their gallant lads die? They must be spoken to about that... |

The 79th made a massive showing at this cheery little event in the pines (hence the name). Count 'em! Four rifles! I'm sure Sgt. Baxter's gun HAS to count for 2 with the amount of powder he uses!! |
|
|
|
Some of the folks took a break from the excitement and tested the local produce for possible pies. |
|
Miss Karla enjoyed the afternoon, and so did Miss Elizabeth, as she calmly stitched away on a... Confederate coat... what could that be for? |

Goodness gracious! Young Cpl. Quivey demoted himself, and to add to that, joined the ranks of Ray's Confederate Boys! |

The Private Quiveys seem rather, um, distracted as The Confederate With The Havelock attempts to hold a conversation with them. |

Sgt. Baxter and Good Mr. Brunet disspell the age-old "brother against brother" adage. Actually, they are siamese twins joined at the hand. |

This, children, is why your mothers want you to grow up to be officers, so you can have your picture taken. |

The combined soldiers and civilians of the 79th New York. Don't tread on us! |

You know what, I'll bet the really really funy part about this pic is whatever Steve was looking at... only we don't have wide angle |
|
Yeah! Of course Franky is in the 79th! Of course! *hides faked ID papers* |

Capt. McFiddes takes a quick smoke while awaiting battle. Apparently, the Rebs thought he was preparing the linstock for a cannon, and they fled. Cigars were issued to the Brigade later in hopes that this ruse would work twice. |
|
|
The 79th at brigade formation, being hounded by the Sgt Maj, as usual. We think he's jealous of our hats. |

The 79th on parade at Knight's Ferry, singing "the Old Grey Mare" to whatever tune Sgt LeBoeuf happened to be playing. Hey, we thought it sounded right! |
|
|
|
During the skirmish, Cpl Quivey joined the Confederate forces for a jolly bit of "tune tag" while the soldiers took pot shots at each other. Virginia boys always like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"! |
