Project Overview
Kind is a member of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment; a reenactment group based out of Fort Snelling. Because this group is noted for its authenticity, they have appeared in many documentaries and historical feature-films such as "The Blue and the Gray," "North & South," "Glory," "Gettysburg," "Dances With Wolves" and "Gods and Generals." Artifacts, uniforms and equipment play an important role in the presentation.
