As far as low numbers are concerned…I think some folks saw the forecast. It was projected to be colder and much wetter than it was. I know I met several folks around the sinks, wood lot, watering...

Sent you a message on FB.

Sorry I was unclear Mrs. Lawson. 7th KY, Charles Lemons commanding. We had numbers, lost numbers throughout the weekend. We fell under the WFBs command structure along with the French Broad, 6th OVI,...

I arrived noonish on Friday. I had hoped to be folded into one of the companies on the tactical but that did not materialize. Another fellow and I decided to head to the sutlers. As we approached the...

No offense was taken nor did I intend to imply any. I know we were on the right wing of the Federals and really burned more powder than I anticipated.

My son Ross and I had an excellent time. The 6th OVI and 24 ILL were uniform and striking in their Hardee hats. Ross wants a Hardee now…thanks guys!

Were there issues? Sure, every event has some,...

WOW! I would say lucky you, but when you consider the number of those out there maybe it is just lucky us...I have been stung a few times over the years by the 6 wingers. At 150 Richmond, KY. One...

Haversack found.

Forget the scabbards...

Really looking for the forage hat.

Times got tough and I had to give somewhere. I dropped off the radar for the last 2 years. I hadn’t even been on the forums in about that long. Times are really not better, but I miss this insane...

Needed:

Federal forage cap of good quality size 7 5/8. (used is fine, but needs to be better than sutler row quality)
Federal tarred haversack. (used is more than ok, but usable)
2-2 rivet...

At the risk of much ridicule, there is an excellent source of silk at cheap prices…Go to the Goodwill and look through the women’s frilly unmentionables. You can find some very nice silk, usually in...

I should have said, at the TR event, proportionally, there were more horses than infantry in the historical context.

Not saying Wilson’s Creek wasn’t an infantry battle. I was saying that proportionally there were more horses than infantry in the historical context.

Complain about horse apples? I grew up on a...

Cav troopers make it hard to find a good place to take a dump. Doc knows what I am talking about.

Just guessing here, but I would say close to if not more than were at TR. And there seemed to be horse poop everywhere.

I totally agree with Ross on this one. If you have a site with a history, by all means remember what really happened there and not what the board of tourism and chamber of commerce wish had.

TR...

“But, I really think you are over estimating the number values of the AC guys. Many or most of them shun public attended events. From the point of view that ‘without spectators all we are doing is...

I would pitch the 6th OVI:

and the Western Federal Blues:

Neither are too far away...

Free is good…well, kind of. I have attended all free events and been less than satisfied with what happened at them. I have been to some that were great. But usually, the latter is the exception to...

Wouldn’t the transportation of those two liquids require about the same logistically as transporting water?

So I should go ahead and try to get the month of October 2012 off for events I take it?

I think that was the consensus of pretty much all that attended. The tacticals were definitely the highlight for me and nearly 99% of the folks I have talked to about TR. We had some folks come in on...

If you haven’t checked the board, please do.

Also, these fellows forming up for this are the same folks that were at TR and captured 8 guns during the...
