Mohawk, N.Y. — The weapons the Union troops and the Confederate rebels
brought with them on the battlefield were on display at the German
Flatts Town Park on Friday.

Cpl. Austin Anna, with the 5th New York Volunteers Light Artillery
Battery re-enactor group, showed visitors some of the Civil War era
weapons, which included a Calvary saber, a cartridge box and an 1858
Remington.

“A lot of them had Remingtons,” said one of the re-enactors on the
field. “Some of them had Colts.”

This was part of the 13th annual Living History Weekend, which kicked
off Friday at the town park. The event is taking place nearly two
weeks after the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, the
single bloodiest day of battle from the Civil War.
