Send me mail call instructions please.


The only proper place for civilians re Blakley is way over around Kushla, hiding in a blackberry ramble. I believe I can accomplish a contribution while sitting in the air conditioning.

For those interested in attending, initial registration is free. Participants have the option of bringing their own rations or if they wish to be part of the ration issue can include a check for $10.00 with their registration form. Now for the actual event in May we ask that each participant pay $5.00 at the entrance of the park upon entry. This self-imposed entry fee will go directly to the park and preservation of Ft. Blakely. Any questions can be directed to Walter Cook Floridaconfedrate@hotmail.com or myself Aric Bruggeworth Oceanpond88@gmail.com. The Confederate/Federal Infantry companies have been filling since registration has opened, if anyone is interested in doing Federal Cavalry and doing something rather unique at an event please send us an email.
