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. <http://www.littlefallstimes.com/news/x833738846/Civil-War-comes-to-life-at-German-Flatts-Town-Park> -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
