Sad, but it's a relief not to be struggling to hold an outfit together anymore. Any of you reenactors who have been commanders know EXACTLY what I'm talking about...!
Sounds like not only our Spanish-American War unit (20th Kansas Infantry), but also Span-Am reenacting in general. It peaked in 1998 with the 100th anniversary (and TNT's "The Rough Riders") and has slowly died ever since. There are still units aroud, but events are few and far between.
