Bryan Cheeseboro is an important person in the Civil War reenactment community, a historian of African American troops in the war, a historic site preservationist, on the staff of the National Archives, and a social media leader at the Civil War Historian’s Page on Facebook. Last week he was interviewed by Gerry Prokopowicz at Civil War Talk Radio about his work, the Civil War reenactor scene today, and who he would talk to if he could go back in time to the 1860s.

Thanks so much, Patrick! I really do feel that my job/career as a historian includes the National Archives, The Alliance to Preserve the Civil War Defenses of Washington, and Civil War reenacting, and public speaking/presentations, though I only get paid for one of those things. But it’s all good when you get to do what you love.
I enjoyed the interview and I admire those aspects of your work that I have come into contact with over the last few years.
