Date: February 8, 9 and 10, 2008
Organizers: The Independent Rifles
Scenario: February 1863 was an active time during the Vicksburg Campaign. Sherman had attacked the previous December, constant threat of the enemy across and on the Mississippi River showed the need to protect Vicksburg would need to be kicked into full swing. These pleas came on deaf ears even when Grant was developing a new strategy to take the city after his failed overland campaign.
We will portray the life of the soldiers in the trenches of Vicksburg during February 1863. Rations will be issued so a registration form and fee can be given by contacting me at westernpicket63@yahoo.com or by Private Messaging me through the forum. I promise this will be a lot cooler than "Life on the Line" and will be a good warm up for the Picket Post at Raymond in May. The registration cap is set at 45. 20 of those places are already spoken for so act fast.
This event will be taking place on the Vicksburg National Park. All park safety regulations will strictly be enforced.
Again- authenticity guidelines (which will be enforced) along with registration information is available by emailing me at westernpicket63@yahoo.com
