Re-enactor Steve Cosby of Doylestown portrays Confederate Colonel James B. Walton on Sunday at the Labor Day Miners Picnic held at No. 9 Mine and Museum, Lansford. The site also hosted a three-day Civil War Living History encampment. Visitors learned that Walton was commander of the Washington Artillery out of New Orleans and served as Inspector-General of Field Artillery of the Confederate States, the highest position an artillery officer could achieve. Cosby said Walton went on to become the second wealthiest man south of the Mason-Dixon Line. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS

History... let's always embrace it. Thanks to all you who have a passion to teach through re-enactments. That stars and bars represents racism to a few, but freedom of speech to most. By the way, Civil wars are harsh. That’s why you avoid them. Democrats lost the first civil war, and with God's help, they'll continue to loose. Keep America Great by embracing our past with great accuracy, and learn from it.
History is great to learn. Thanks to all of the teachers and re-enactors. If you are ignorant of history, like you T2C, you become an “assclown.” The history of America is great. Your history, T2C/diggerout is dirty, as you were expelled from here for vulgar insulting posts. You, T2C, have a history of mental dysfunction. Get help. How does it hurt you if someone takes their weekend to dress up in historical clothes to share with others tidbits from the past? If you don’t like it stay away. No need to be insulting.
