Old mixed with the new at Fort Walla Walla Days Saturday as guests witnessed re-enactors dressed in period clothing from the Civil War through World War I and were treated to a Civil War battle complete with musket, carbine fire and cannon shots. Below left, as Union officers (in silhouette) of the 3rd Michigan Infantry bark out orders to fire cannon, an advancing group of soldiers from the Confederacy's 7th Tennessee Infantry reload their muskets. The event continues today.
