A HARD ROAD TRAVELED or How We Somehow Became the Most Famous American Civil War String Band Ever 

~ PART 1 ~ "There wasn't, like, a plan..."
In 1989, on an early August evening at Fort Warren, George's Island, in Boston Harbor, five reenactors belonging to Co. I, 2nd South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, gathered together with their instruments near the company campfire and for the first time began to sing songs that would have been familiar to the Confederate soldiers imprisoned there during the American Civil War. Part 1 tells about how we all happened to first meet and how we began the journey that ended more than thirty-years later. The story of the early days of the band - the 2nd South Carolina String Band - named in honor of the reenactment unit that brought them together.
