Gents and Ladies,

Not sure where this should be placed, but here is the press conference we just did announcing the event-

It will be along the lines of September Storm, At High Tide, Return to Manassas and other such events I have organized.

Please place accordingly- and here is the link to the news article-

Pards,

His caps of 4,000 to 5,000 re-enactors and 2,000 spectators mean the event will be considerably smaller than the Battle of Antietam re-enactments staged in 1997 and 2002, which each attracted about 13,000 re-enactors and as many as 100,000 spectators.

Anders said smaller numbers will allow for higher authenticity and better views for spectators.

“The goal is that people actually see what happened in September 1862, what the troops looked like, how they camped, how they fought, not a fantasy world-type representation thereof,” he said.

Very well put Chris. This is a polite way to say it will keep out the riff-raff.

I also agree, well put Chris.

The comments on the article (at the bottom of the page) are great. I guess we are all "pathetic" "idiots" now.

[Wild Rover]

Didn't see the comments- looked for them...hummm

[Wild Rover]

Ok found them- oh well, everyone has opinions, like well, you know

[Brandon]

That just goes to show it doesn't matter how good of a thing you are trying to do you are still going to have haters. The event looks great though you can count on some boys from Florida coming up for sure.

Great to see this event is going forward! Some of us up here in the Pacific Northwest are planning to go.

I know its still more than a year out but is there any more information on this?

EDIT: Never mind, I found the website at the end of the news article. But I do have another question- are there any groups here that are planning on going to this event? If I went, I would need to fall in with a unit.
