Civil War Re-Enactment
At Fort Klamath? News to me:
Museum curator Kevin Fields said as many 2,000 soldiers were stationed at the 1,050-acre fort, situated in the lush hay field near Upper Klamath Lake. The Army's charge, according to re-enactor Sgt. Marv Collison, was to assure that Oregon, California and other nearby territories remained part of the Union during the "War of Rebellion." From time to time, Fort Klamath soldiers tangled with bands of Snake River, Paiute and Klamath tribes from 1863 to 1867. At other times, the soldiers kept miners and other settlers from messing with American Indians.Tour site here. Cascade Civil War Society has more.
