Flames and smoke eject from a line of Union muskets. Behind a group of trees to the Union line's right, a lumbering Confederate can- non rotates towards them and takes aim. A thun- derous explosion rips from the shaded tree glade, throwing dozens of Yankee troops off their feet, leaving some dead and others screaming in agony. The shooting slows then stops. The soldiers hold their weapons at the ready but do not fire. A bugle sounds through the park. The dead rise and dust off their clothes. A loudspeaker voice thanks the audience for participating and announces that the next battle will begin at 4:30 p.m. This is not the Civil War. It's the Civil War Revisited, the largest annual gathering of Civil War re-enactors in the nation, located in Kearny Park in Fresno, according to Christina Perryman from the Fresno Historical Society. One of its participants is Scott Pierson, the San Jose State University marching band director. Pierson said he has been doing Civil War re-enact- ing since 1991, as a part of the 69th New York Vol- unteers, the famed "Irish Brigade." Pierson said his interest started when his family took a vacation looking at Revolutionary War sites along the East Coast about 10 years ago. They made a stop in Gettysburg, Pa. Traveling with his son, Randy Pierson, father and son became absorbed in the quiet Pennsylvania battlefield landscape, covered with monuments erected by units that had fought in the battle. After going home, Randy Pierson checked out dozens of books from the library, absorbed in his new- found interest. Scott, wanting to help Randy learn, knew somebody who did Civil War re-enactment. Richard Staley, a Pierson acquaintance who worked at SJSU at the time, invited them to see a re-enactment in Milpitas. "We watched the battles, and he's just amazed. There are guys on horses, there are cannons going off, there's all this stuff he's read about, and suddenly, there it is in real life, and that's exactly why I do this now," Scott said. "You never know how many of these kids walking around here today are going to be histo- ry professors because of what just knocked them out today" As part of that, Pierson spent much of the day at his (Above) Confederate soldiers unit's camp, talking rush past Union dead as Rebel ith visitors who forces overwhelm the Northern lines had questions about in a re-enactment at Fresno's Kearny the Civil War, their encampment, and Park. his unit.

And the Spartan Shreveport, La., the temporary capitol of Louisiana marching band was for a very long time, just super, during the Civil War, according to the Texas Hand- and that was because of Scott."
