I'm off to help shepherd over 700 school kids through education day at our local Civil War Reenactment. We try to teach them a little history and show them how things were done during the 1860's time period. That is, if we can get past the I pods, video games and cell phones.

Regards John
 
Lots of luck - it takes a lot of patience for a project like that!
 
good luck with em.
 
Good luck!
 
Teach them this song and all will go well.

Sitting by the roadside
On a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates
Passing time away
Lying in the shadows
Underneath the trees
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.

Chorus:
|: Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas. :|

When a horse-man passes,
The soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest,
"Mister, here's your mule?"
But another custom,
Enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders,
Eating goober peas.
Chorus:

Just before the battle,
The General hears a row
He says "The Yanks are coming,
I hear their rifles now."
He looks down the roadway
And what d'you think he sees?
The Georgia Militia
Cracking goober peas.
Chorus:



I think my song has lasted
Just about enough.
The subject's interesting but
The rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over
So free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts,
Say good-bye to goober peas.
Chorus:
 
Too far north for 'goober peas'....wonder if anybody other than me & a couple of old Southerners know what they really are?

Boiled peanuts is nasty! Dry roasted! oooooh yea!
So the real question is, how'd the reenactment go? I'd have threatened to take all spotted I pods and cell phones and whatnot, loaded them in the nearest artillary piece, and tested thier "range" mehehehehehehe
