Capture the Flag: The spoils of war

This scene shows the First Minnesota after the battle at Fair Oaks. Today, the First Minnesota hails 125 re-enactors, far more than the two dozen in the 28th Virginia. Four scholarly books have been published on the regiment. A New York filmmaker is working on a documentary.
