I wish there was a "Like" button.

Has anyone considered reaching out to the public with aggressive and dynamic recruiting campaigns? I just don’t see a whole lot of outreach in this aspect. Has anyone hung flyers in local genealogy...

Hello Bob,

Does your unit have researched, written and enforced authenticity standards, an approved vendors list, and a web site? If so, you might get more action if you post them.

I don't think you could go wrong with a jean cloth 'sheeps grey' plain commutation shell jacket, with a 6 or 7 button front. Check out Ben Tart's 'Natural Grey' jean. His goods are reasonably priced.

I concur with your historical assessment and critique of the film. Hollywood almost always misrepresents and reshapes historical attitudes so that they will fit their progressive “narrative”. The...

Is there any surviving examples or written documentation of shirts made of Muslin? Not that I'm a shirt guru, but I have personally never seen or heard of any. So I'm just curious if anyone else has?...

“We killed almost every one in the first line, and were soon charging over the second, when right in our immediate front was their third and main line of battle from which four Napoleon guns poured...

I’ve read that several individuals spoke up about the hits that they personally took on Sunday and I’m in total agreement that casualties on Sunday were definitely greater than on Saturday. On...

I get this comment/question all the time from spectators. I don't understand, and never have understood why casualties are usually always so few in reenacting . It's really a great disservice on a...

Are there any force ratios policies in place for this event?

Thank you for commenting on the civillian side, but i'm still wanting to know what the military uniform guidelines are...

Would sombody please post the uniform and authenticity guidelines for this once in a lifetime event. Surely Confederate charcoal gray all wool uniforms, with masonic pins attached will be the...

Is the 3,849 number after a registration list scrub? I perused through the July 25th list and there are over a hundred names either duplicated or triplicated. Also, since Confederate registration...

I am interested in participating in the 2nd Manassas reenactment and I’m looking for a good Fereral or Confederate unit to fall-in with. However, I would prefer to do Union to help out the force...

I’m interested in participating in this events and I am looking for a good (progressive) Federal group to fall-in with. I am a seasoned reenactor with a tight impression. Please let me know if you...

I am strongly considering attending the 2nd Manassas reenactment and I am wondering if there is any policy in place to insure an accurate (or at least a tolerable) force ratio? I would hate to see...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "glass bedded"?

What is the expected attendance of military reenactors at this event?

I looked at the Lee Takes Command webpage and I was curious if there are going to be any spectator battles or is this a reenactor only event?
