"REENACTING IS NOT A GLORIFICATION OF WAR
RATHER A REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE THAT DIED FOR OUR FREEDOMS"
Carlene M. Wojahn
This following paragraph describes more fully what Civil War Reenacting
is all about....
"Creed of Living History"
It is even more than that Civil War Reenacting is a hobby, activity, and a way of life. It is when you enter a camp and you smell the camp fires burning, oh what a sweet odor that is. It is conversation and laughter in the air, men and women sharing their knowlege of history with others, you may even see a man by a cannon anxiously waiting for people to share his knowledge with.
The people that you meet here are down-to-earth individuals that really care what happens to you, in fact, it is an extended family. Oh, we do have our disagreements, in families you do too, but all in all when you join you will find it is the greatest group around.
Here are some names, e-mails and addresses of organizations that you can join up with..are looking for new recruits. One of them is Links to units looking for Recruits but after you are done here are some more.

We are at present composed of two companies one Federal and one Confederate, with a shared command structure.

We are also serious about safety issues, and the welfare of the reenactors who attend NSA sanctioned events. Our area of recruitment is nationally, with the preference of serving Fed. or Confed. being left to the individual--all NSA rules apply.
