Greeting

Let me start by saying Thank you for having this board.

I am just getting involved in the Civil War era reenactment. I will be setting up as one of the Berdan Sharpshooters. I have the basic Blues and am working on the rest.
I have been reenacting WW2 for some years but have decided to go to a simpler time and also being in Minnesota it's easier to find events.

I look forward to getting to know you all here and maybe even meeting on the field some day.

I have been a re-enactor for a little over a year, as a Confederate I have had a wonderful time battling you yankees! It is a wonderful hobby and a great experience educating the public on the war. Good luck to you and enjoy!

Welcome... If possible get a copy of the Columbia Rifles Research Compendium (a.k.a. the holy grail of re-enacting). These are hard to come by but a great asset to any federal re-enactor.
