Mistakes do happen--and these days it seems the media is a bit more careless than they used to be. With the Internet's instant publication, mistakes slip by much faster than in the past.

Jack's Powder Keg goes to BGA events--his website states he'll be at both the BGA Gettysburg and Chicamauga. You can save on the hazmat fee and shipping if you place an order with him ahead of time...

That much powder is generally frowned upon--but it is safe, er at least as safe as firing any explosive down a long metal tube. Getting double loads into a musket happens, and you're in the double...

Count starts with the file (both the front and rear rank) immediately beside the 1st Sergeant (to his left). That file (both front and rear rank) are "1", the file to their left is "2" and so on. ...

I believe both Taylor Arms and Lodgewood would have your clean-out screw. You might also check with Regimental Quartermaster if they are at the event you're at--I've seen them have lots of little...

Being that your unit is not particular with what you get, I'll put my 2 cents in about my experiences. It won't be all the information you need to make a decision, but it might help.

The...

Well, I can tell you it's still on. I just checked to get the following information, and I am working to get more (such as a website):

Overall Yankee commander: Sgt. Maj. Kyle Yoho

Got a couple of units in your area, all of which are going to Gettysburg.

The 1st Tennessee Co B (http://www.1sttennesseecob.com/). They are having their Spring Drill this weekend at Pioneer...

The Independent Guard Battalion has a number of units in the Indiana area, including:
5th VA Co D
19th VA Co C
44th TN Co K
50th VA Co D

So long as no black powder or caps are included in the shipment, the revolver is not considered hazardous.

This link (https://www.usps.com/ship/hazardous_popup.htm) defines what the USPS considers...

I was asked to provide the below update for the 150th Morgan's Raid event at Buffington Island this year:



Something to bear in mind for this event--this is Ohio's only Civil War battlefield.

Both 9th KY Co D and the 1st TN Co B are in your area.

There's also this link:

As Silas said, "Best" is subjective.

But since you mention Gettysburg (http://www.gettysburgreenactment.com/ and/or http://www.bluegraygettysburg.com/) and Chancellorsville...

You can order it directly from the publisher here:

It takes awhile to get it, but you do get it eventually. I think it's the only reliable place to...

Three of us from the 1st TN Co B just made it in under the wire. We had some issues with getting the signed releases in to them, but in my opinion, they were more than generous in assisting us to...

5th TX is a great group--I fell in with them at Hale Farm earlier this year. But if you are going to the GAC Gettysburg instead (a week after the BGA Gettysburg), I can get you in contact with Capt...

More here. I'm a bit particular to photo #17.

Not plans per se, but the patent for a period camp chair (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2mJlq8-Bq_6aGJqandoRzRMNGs)--there might be enough in the sketches to work something out. I located this...

Found some more on the 14th SC Co I's Facebook page.

If the maroon sash is still available, I'll buy it off of you at Hartford City, if you're coming to that. Mine got pretty messed up at Perryville.

Well, out of respect for this forum, I probably shouldn't post this, but I don't know how you Yanks handle things, and I just gained my rank this year on the smallest battalion at Perryville, but...

Some here, sir, from the Lexington Herald-Leader. I also have links to some You Tube videos on my blog, at the end of my post about Perryville. Civil War Sites was also there taking pictures--he...

What are you fussin' about? As battalion adjutant camped in mixed camp, I had to make the 1/2 mile trip back and forth to military camp to battalion and confederate headquarters up that frickin'...
