You might live a whole life west of the Rocky Mountains and not realize this: the Civil War never ended, not for an army of amateur actors recreating historical encampments and battles. The war has not ended for many other modern people alive now in the Old Confederacy, who identify with a disappeared way of life, and take pride in a Lost Cause. I encountered these two soldiers at Perryville, having a drink together before the theatrical blood-letting began.
