I am a reenactor.  We portray the 63rd Tennessee Volunteer Infantry.  This is my attempt to capture the moment a soldier is called to arms.  He has had first call and is accoutered and grabbed his canteen and musket.  The long roll just sounded.  The grimace on his face tells it all.  He means business.
