It's supposed to be the "Sunken Road" at Antietam. And those boys in blue are most likely from the Irish Brigade. Which where the only birgade to stand against the rebs the longest but suffered horrific casualties.

Thanks, Mike. It's nice to know they got it all on film for posterity.

This past Saturday, November 7, 2009, the Primer Batallon de Mexico, a group of dedicated individuals who are interested in the Méxican soldado during the Texas Revolution, Méxican American War and the French Intervention in México, took part in the capture of the Presidio of La Bahia by Texian forces in 1835. Commanding the troops was Adam Dominguez of King's X Toy Soldiers Shop on Alamo Plaza. Martin Vasquez who had to hold down the fort at King's X that day was unable to be in two places at one time. There were manual of arms demonstrations during the day and then the group staged a night skirmish just for themselves. Here are a few photos of the event from the group's website: Presidio commander Adam Dominguez.
