I guess for me, it's just a matter of whatever happens, happens. I personally will still continually work on improving my impression, and try to surround myself with like-minded individuals. Trying...

"You're ugly and your momma dresses you funny!"

You'll appreciate it. I've always thought that a good warm hat was worth an extra blanket on those cold nights.

Silas: Thank you! The words are very helpful.
Darrell: Thank you. You've got the idea.
John & Scot: "Just learn them all." That's my end objective, but for right now I need to focus on just a...

Oh, no. I've got an explanation, but I need to know on which ones to focus. Maybe I should phrase the question this way. What are the six bugles calls I should learn first and in what order?

Okay, here's my dilemma: I am musically illiterate--can't read a note of music. Beyond that, I've just got almost no experience with bugle calls. Oh sure, at the better reenactments there are bugle...

I've been on the website, I tried e-mail, and I've tried calling. No, I haven't yet tried Homing pigeons nor two cans and a LOT of string.<wink>

My question was, "Does anyone know if Tom...

I wanna know where he got that grape seed oil. My hands get awfully dry too!

Does anyone know if Tom Nardi/Sword Restoration Specialists is still in business? I've heard great things about his work, but have been unable to contact him. His website prices were last updated in...

Wait a minute! I know that one! No, it's 'Popes in a Volkswagon.' Jeez I crack myself up!



But back to the question...

It all depends on your size. I'm 6'1", so either my head or feet would...

Josh, did you actually communicate with W,W & Co? They might still be able to help.

Beyond that, they used to sell material by the yard. I've been planning to contact them myself.

She's a handsome craft in profile. Low and sinister.

I wish you all the luck on this one. We see far too few African-Americans in the hobby, be they soldiers, slaves, or civilians. I know that there's a small organization out here in Ohio, the 5th USCT...

The annual cleanup day is fast approaching for Perryville. This year it's April 6th.

In past years we've cleared deadfall timber, razed old tobacco barns that weren't there in '62, tore out modern...

Here's the best reason not to: think about knocking over a stack and it falls into the next, dominoing all down the line. Now remember that the front sight on these reproduction rifles is not welded...

There will be NO execution.

I may not be the most observant fellow out there, but I know who I've been in line with after a time or two. I trust that the NCOs and officers do too.

Thanks Michael. I'll try and dig up Benet and Kautz.

Here's the template that I used: http://www.southreporter.com/2011/wk34/civil_war_documents.html

Murphy was arrested and later cashiered by Grant for total failure to protect Holly Springs. What...

Yep fellas, it's an arrest warrant against a soldier.

I'd like to say more but it's going to be a surprise. Don't want to tip off the perp that the long arm of the law is about to reach out and...

I found an image of General Hurlbutt's arrest warrant for Colonel Murphy. I took the layout for the special order as a template and filled in my own wording.

Hello

I've been trying to locate a blank copy of an arrest warrant for an upcoming LH event. I've looked through Silas's excellent list and did a search on this website, but have been unable to...

According to one of these officers' diary, they had just been issued new hats, so these are a lot prettier than they would be a couple months later.

The closest I've seen is an officer's brazier which he would have filled with coals.

I think that Bobby is pointing out the word "Calvary" (which the original poster used) versus "cavalry." The first is the hill where Christ was crucified, the second is a guy on a horse. It's a...
