Hombres y mujeres vestidos en uniforme azul, el color ofi cial
del ejército de la Unión acamparon en el Parque Campagnone.
Ellos durmieron en casas de campaña, cocinaron en hogueras,
cuidaron de sus caballos, dispararon mosquetes y cañones e
intercambiaron historias sobre la Guerra Civil.

Como en años anteriores tuvimos la visita del Presidente
Abraham Lincoln y su esposa Mary Todd, el Alcalde de Baltimore
George William Brown (Ralph Vincent) y también al Teniente
General Ulysses S. Grant y su esposa Julia. En la vida real,
el General Grant es Sam Grant y la señora Grant es Julie
Marin.

Men and women dressed in blue military garment, the official
color for the Union Army camped at the Lawrence Common. They
slept in tents, cooked on an open fire, took care of their
horses, fired muskets and cannons, and told stories of the
Civil War.
