ACW - A cornfield battleground (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Yesterday I also received another WB #17614 18th-20th Century Corn Rows. That gives me a total of 5 sets (10 corn rows). I have placed them across the small farm lane from the farm house/yard on my diorama creating a small patch of corn used by the family for their kitchen table. I think this plot adds some visual interest to the diorama. I suppose this corm field could represent a small family plot in mid to late summer anywhere in northern Virginia, Maryland, or Pennsylvania. These photographs are from a perspective of my diorama that I have ignored for a while. Enjoy . . . . . .

Actually what they can't eat, they give to the Rebels and charge a premium to the Yanks

This makes me think of harvest metaphor used by ACW artists like Winslow Homer (Veteran in a New Field) and photographers like Alexander Gardner (Harvest of Death).

It's getting hard to tell your photos from the official WB and H&A catalog shots. Keep up the great work.

This story reminds me of the time when I took my first teaching job at the North Carolina School for the Deaf. I use to go out into the country to see the the area and often I would see small farm homes with rows of corn. I asked my friends at work why there was so much corn for such a small farm....everyone laughed at me and said it for moonshine and would not be wise to stop around especially with out of state license plates.... Really nice photos on this project

Those corn stalk sets cost a pretty packet, but they have really added a new dimension to your display, by purchasing lots of sets like that it is really authentic and was worth every dime (or is it cents)?

Very very impressive I'm very envious of just how good that looks!

Mike...Your cornfield is excellent. I like the photographs with only the tops of the flags showing above the corn. A nice touch.

A little more HEAT from those Confederate Guns and we will have POP CORN !

Thnaks guys -

More like $$$ but money well spent in my opinion

I like to imagine that you can almost feel the hot humid summer air amongst the corn stalks as the flags flutter by above them.

A little more HEAT from those Confederate Guns and we will have POP CORN !

Ron, I think you have a weakness towards favoring artillery
