Yesterday’s Odds & Ends took a look at the latest in the Civil War blogosphere.  As promised, here is a bonus Odds & Ends covering the rest of the latest Civil War news across the rest of the World Wide Web.  I am also going to start calling this column “Civil War Odds & Ends” so that it better describes the material.

• A Meade impersonator keeps a crowd entertained.  Hat tip to Dimitri for this one.

• Historic Alexander’s Bridge on the Chickamauga Battlefield is deteriorating.  Officials are asking for local public opinion.

• Those in the Richmond area can attend what looks to be a very interesting “Civil War in the Cinema” event at the Tredegar Iron Works on Sundays in August, starting on August 10.

• Waldo Jaquith reflects on the mostly American (and British) habit of reenacting wars.

• Tennessee is seeing some activity for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  The Southeast Tennessee Tourism Association has produced a new brochure entitled Southeast Tennessee’s Civil War Trails, Fighting for the Rails.

• PhDiva looks at the 54th Massachusetts’ assault on Battery Wagner near Charleston, SC on July 18, 1863.
