The Cavalry Comes to Town

This Militia comes riding into town, proudly displaying their United States Flag. More than likely weary after wearing hot wool uniforms during a very hot day, tthey probably need a good long and cold dose of water. This picture was taken during the reenactment of California Gold Rush Days, located in Old Town Sacramento, California with a Canon XTI and a 300 mm zoom lens.
