DESCRIPTION:CIVIL WAR DAYS RETURNS TO DUNCANS MILLS\n\n	One of the largest Civil War 
 reenactments west of the Mississippi and the largest in Northern California 
 is returning to Freezeout Canyon in the charming town of Duncans Mills, 
 California, on the Russian River. On Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 
 19, CIVIL WAR DAYS, a two-day living history reenactment open to the 
 public, gives visitors the opportunity to interact with the soldiers and 
 civilians of the Civil War, getting a personal glimpse of the years 
 1861–1865 and a better understanding of the events that formed our 
 country. The spirit and history of the American Civil War period will be 
 portrayed by hundreds of reenactors for this annual fun, family-oriented 
 event.\n	You are invited to walk among the reenactors, talk with them, ask 
 them questions, and experience firsthand this very dynamic period in our 
 history. These reenactors are passionate about American history and have 
 worked hard to accurately portray and bring to life Union and Confederate 
 soldiers, merchants, tradesmen, musicians, doctors, nurses, and townspeople 
 caught up in this country’s struggle. This was the period of horse-drawn 
 wagons, hoop skirts, lanterns, blacksmiths, and cannons. It is when 
 differing views of American government, preservation of the Union, slavery, 
 and states’ rights moved men to engage in a war that took more than 
 700,000 lives and redefined the future of our country. You can visit the 
 camps of the Union and Confederacy and see how civilians lived and served 
 with the armies of 1863 in what was referred to as the “first modern 
 war”. This is not only an educational experience but an unforgettable one 
 for all ages.\n	This 16th annual event is sponsored by the California 
 Historical Artillery Society, a nonprofit educational corporation, and 
 Casini Ranch Family Campground. CIVIL WAR DAYS brings together members of 
 the National Civil War Association, the American Civil War Association, and 
 other groups from throughout the western United States. The twice-daily 
 battles will fill the surrounding hills with the sound of fife and drum, 
 musket and cannon as the American Civil War comes to life. Public hours are 
 Saturday, July 18th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, July 19th, 
 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Battle times are 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on 
 Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.  Check out a great video
