I somehow ened up on the GAC 150th E-News blast and have been getting updates sent to my email every two weeks or so. I assumed that the same info was being posted on the web site - appareently that...

The GAC has been publishing regular updates on their web site ... http://www.gettysburgreenactment.com/787/#more-787

Price gouging by the previous hotel vendor has been mentioned. Prices doubled for this year as it was a 150th. The Son's took their business elsewhere.

I have been told that there is a difference between the Officer and NCO Manual of the Sword. As an NCO was not a 'gentleman' he had a difference manual of the sword. Does anyone have any information...

There are a few of us out there trying ... believe me, it's not easy!

To paraphrase a great quote ... All of reenacting is a stage, and we are merely actors. I am no more an NCO or Officer, or even a Private than Daniel Day Lewis is Abraham Lincoln. We play a part,...

Received my copy of the CWN other day and you have a full two page 18 photo center spread on Perryville. And a half page on the Battle of Unison 150th as well as a smattering of Cedar Creek 148th...

Sorry to hear that anyone let you come away with that perspective. Next year please stop by and say hi, and grab a cup of Joe, sit down with us Blue Bellies in the 97th PVI for a spell and I'm sure...

National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - Usually has something going on every weekend as well, demo, LH, etc.

We step off at 7:30, with a ceremony scheduled in the Pennsylvania burial area at 8:00.

You mean when the ACW replica long arms bubble bursts? Go short!!!

There is a ceremony at the Gettysburg National Cemetery on Saturday (Nov 17th) morning at 7:30am. Several reenactor groups and units participate. It is a very moving ceremony, especially in the early...

We too will be in the Cemetery with the FVB, and also participating in the parade. However, our unit did not fight in Gettysburg, so there is no monument, etc., to honor.

However, we were invited...

Awesome. Thanks for the update and clarification. That was being used to argue against a commitment by a few I know. Looking forward to hearing more positive news.

Would love to do both, but the unit is committed to GAC, and I don't have the cash or vacation days to do both.

I did just learn that BGA still dosn't have permits as of yet, and the last...

Just wanted to give a shout out and big thank you to Matt for the '42 which arrived today. I would not hesitate to buy gear from Matt again or recommend him!

Is this even always held on the same weekend in September? I would liek to float this by the unit for the 2013 season.

The longer I am in this hobby the more it begins to look like partisan politics. You have the extremism between the Right and the Left with a majority somewhere in the middle.

Hi, as I have no idea about the ground at the BGA 135th, verses the GAC 149th, could you kindly elaborate on your comment as to the key points regarding the differences. I am still trying to make up...

I think that there is some disappointment in the reenacting community regarding scheduling another event for the GB 150th. One point is that everyone keeps repeating is that they are a week apart,...

Something I recently leaned may be of assistance. I too used to bring the straps across my chest, because that seemed like the logical thing to do, and everyone else was doing it as well. I have...

You’re right on with that assessment. My unit has been under three different 'umbrella' organizations during the past 15 years. The changes were not arbitrary, but did have solid reasons at the time,...

Please feel free to send them to me. I'll put them in my closet, and the next time you take them out they will be at least one size smaller.

Has worked for all my current trousers thus far.

That was the feeling of about 99.9% of my unit. Making multiple (3+) hour road trips to Cedar Creek to do the same old thing over the course of the season did not have much appeal to the unit. We...
