The American Civil War Society - Sheffield Fayre

The ever popular American Civil War battle with sweeping, colourful action with cannon and ranks of Union and Confederate soldiers armed with the rifled muskets of the time. There's a close link with Sheffield too as many weapons made in the city were exported to both sides, and with a staggering 50,000 British volunteers fighting on one side of the other, some of these men will have come from Sheffield and Yorkshire.


BANG, that's the ammunition dump gone!
