Confederate reenactors of the 1st Mississippi Light Artillery Company C fire a six-pound smooth bore bronze cannon during an educational program presenting various elements of the Civil War, Friday, Oct. 19, 2012 in Raymond, Miss. As part of a four-day observance of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Raymond, reenactors spent the first two days teaching school children about the local historical involvement in the conflict, about the life led by a regular soldier, about firing a cannon, and provided examples of surviving in the caves that dotted the hills around Vicksburg during the siege.
