[Coatsy]

Can Kentucky handle that group of fellers????? Only Scuba Steve can tell....

[Micah Trent]

DAMN!!! That's an awesome list! That beats a police line-up if I've ever seen one.

Gents, if you have not registered yet, you need to do so cause I can gurantee you this Campaign Company will fill up fast very soon. Remember 40 is the cut off. Don't wait to the last minuet and get left out!

Do you think we'll actually be able to form a company with this group? :tounge_sm

Doing a quick check of accumulated experience - I come up with about 138 years of combined time in the hobby with this group. - and I think that is being conservative. Ouch. I’m old!

[Matt Woodburn]

Final NCO appointments are made on the first post in this thread now. I'll list the balance of the company as I get it from registration.

[Ken Cornett]

Mess No. 1/Buckeye Mess intends to bring ten bodies. Boy will we have fun being privates! :D

[Matt Woodburn]

Yes Ken, and it's you privates from Ohio that give me greatest concern at this event.

Just A Little Worried with Reason,

Accounts of Buell's Pursuit and Men on the March (http://www.ftduffield.org/BUELLS_PURSUIT_WEBSITE/Buells_March.html)

[Federal Bummer]

"Upon arrival at Louisville we first saw the new regiments, who had enlisted under the 300,000 call of 1862. The "vets" were disposed to have some fun at their expense, and would go around camp yelling "fresh fish." The government had wisely decided to brigade the new troops with old vets. To our division was assigned the Eighty-Second Indiana to the First Brigade, Seventy-Fourth Indiana to Second Brigade and the Eight-seventh Indiana to the Third Brigade, First Division, Department of the Ohio. All other new regiments were similarly distributed."

Thanks for the info Scuba Steve. The fact that Buell's army went from Southern Tennessee/Nothern Alabama all the way up into Kentucky to confront Bragg's Cornfeds is a fact that is easy to overlook. Take a look at any of the maps showing the march routes and then add the mileage. Yeah, that's a lot of walking! :eek:

Its been brought to my attention more than once that I've been slack on my obligations. I will be posting those names who have sent registration in throught May. If your wondering, and most of you are, rest assured I have them but have not processed any yet.

I did get a report the march route is approved and Matt Rector is working to add to this route that is through prestine country. All is on schedule and the TWM has a planned work weekend coming up soon.

This will be one hell of a event :)

[Micah Trent]

In deed the march route has been officially approved. We are working on one other detail which will make this march even more interesting and challenging.
I promise you guys, this march you all are going to go on will def. be unlike any other you have done. As Steve would say...It's gonna be tits!!!!
Again, remember, there are only room for 40 guys. This group, Woodburn's Company, is filling up fast. Get you registration in before it is too late!!!

Where is the list posted? I looked on the event web site but no luck. I sent my registration in sometime in April...maybe even March, cant remember that far back.

OK guys, we're 30 days out. We've got room for a few more in the Veteran Company. Tell your pards that have been dragging their feet to get their registrations in! Links to the event info and registration forms are at the top of this thread. This is going to be a good event with some pristine scenery that we'll march through before we get to the fort where more fun with the fresh fish will be had. Don't miss out, get registered!
