2nd Trans-Mississippi BattalionThe mission of the 2nd Tran-Mississippi Battalion is to build an authentic, high-quality battalion to interpret the era of the War Between the States. Authenticity is exemplified through the representation of eight autonomous regiments, forming the Confederate battalions, representing troops indigenious to the area west of the Mississippi River, an area little understood. Period-correct uniforms and drill based upon research and original military manuals are complemented by participation in local, regional, and national reenactments. To correctly portray the history of the period, these reenactments include not only battle scenarious with infantry, artillery, and cavalry, but also include realistic first person interpretations of the soldiers' fate. Camp life is represented at events through activities like pickets, mailcall, payroll, music, and games of the period. The Batallion's mission is to present a realistic interpretation of Confederate military life for the perpetuation and rememberance of those who have gone before, lest the children of today forget the horror of this war between fallen brothers--over half a million in number.
