I was in a Civil War movie called Unbreakable Bonds, the Civil War Series by Cape Fear Films. I was a Drummer Boy in the movie that will be released as a DVD.
It was filmed on the Pocotaligo battlefield in Yemassee South Carolina. It is about the 54th Massachusetts a United State Colored Troops regiment. Many people believe that the 54th was the first colored regiment to be in action but there were a couple of regiments of black soldiers including the North Carolina Colored Volunteers and the Corps d'Afrique.
The night before the filming, my mom and I went to Savannah and I got to see Sherman's headquarters.
Me in my uniform at Pocotaligo.
Me with the 54th Colored Troop reenactors.
Me teaching a school group about Drummer Boys during the Civil War. I talked to about 8 school groups that morning.
And I met an adorable puppy. She is named Daisy and is a 7 month old Bloodhound. She liked smelling the battlefield on me. She smelled me so hard she kept knocking me over!
I will be posting be posting blogs often about the trip.
