Gents looking at photos from Henry P Moore of the 3RD New Hampshire Infantry Band and have seen a couple guys with BAND spelled out in brass letters on their Caps. Have any of you seen this in other...

However this should be a lesson for us all.

1. Zoning that should have been the big fight. Remember no change in the zoning and the whole thing would not have been an issue. This still needs to...

Very interesting point and thanks for the info. I can imagine what the guys who ended up in the Hospitals after a battle must have been nervous beyond their wounds. "OMG I can't find any of my gear...

Mike please excuse my ignorance but I was wondering upon discharge did the soldier keep his bootees or where those things turned in. That may be a dumb question but I am still fuzzy on what a...

There is always a danger in comparing the motivation of the soldiers of both the Confederacy and Union to the politicians of each government. While many soldiers of the Confederacy may have been...

While I agree with the myths I have to take everything with a grain of salt. It is the Washington Post. But it is interesting to remember that a State that wanted to be apart of the Confederacy had...

Hey does anyone have any stories, letters or diaries from the hospitals speaking about Christmas time. I will start looking through my stuff but I wonder what it was like for those guys.

Not to get picky but actually fire needs four things the fourth being an uninterupted chemical chain reaction. :p:D:D:D To many years of Navy firefighting training has ingrained that in my head.

A little Shakesere can't hurt either. I can recall the tale of a Regular who was awoken one night to the voices of a drunk private and Sargent up around the fire one quoting Hamlet the other I...

When looking over a advertisement in a Harpers Reprint I noticed it was for something similar to roller blades. So that got me thinking what was the new gotta have in 1860 what was the Ipod or...

As the Grandson of a WW1 Vet I am often held in awe of a couple men killed in the great war that lead to the institution of Veterans Day. First is U.S. army private Henry Gunther killed 10:59 on the...

Add to that one learn about a 19th century occupation. What did you do Where did you do it? How much were you paid for it? With the exception of 16000 regulars everyone did something before...

2 Get a nice little collection of hat brass together(they really are not that pricey) to...

Also known as a Buffstick. Hence how the 3RD US got their nicknames of Buffsticks.

Wow Sweedish or Michigan Leeches. Gods even then we couldn't keep imports out. :lol::lol:

I wonder if it was an actually difference in the breed that produced different results or just a what...

I found the reference to the manual detailing Female Hygiene. Funny how I thought such topics not spoken about in polite company then.

Has anyone seen a Slave Trader Impression and or Fugitive Slave Catcher(Forgive my history not sure what they were called.)?

To the original question I have never had any true adverse effects however I have had a few eybrows raised. I have had a couple of supervisors say they felt it inappropriate that I partake in this...
