Morgan's Raid 150th

[Cadet]

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
Overall Confederate commander: Capt J.R. Sharp

The current plans are for a living history, representing both sides. There may be some drill demonstrations as well as a memorial service / dedication to Morgan's Trail.



My own thoughts are that since the 1st Tennessee Co B will be there in force and loves a good fight, I imagine that if the Yankees are willing to play, it'll be more than just a living history with drill demonstrations.

There will be a 150th commemoration of Buffington Island July 20-21 this year on the Ohio Historical Society and surrounding grounds. Registtration information will be forthcoming very soon. I can confirm that J.R Sharpe and Kyle Yahoo will be commanding the respective forces for the event. The event will include historical intepretation of soldier life, etc., commemoration ceremonies, talks and presentations.

Should you have questions, feel free to contact me at the info below.
