1st California Volunteer Infantry, CO F
Company Organization with members in Arizona and California
Depicting Federal Soldiers serving in California, the Arizona and New Mexico Territories, & Missouri.
Current unit president is Troy Groves (AZReenactor)

We are first and foremost a group of comrades who share a love of history. Our primary activities are generally small (yet full scale for our theater) 1st person immersion events (2 in CA and 4 in AZ each year at present) focusing on California/Arizona History between 1861-1866. Authentic experiences are the primary goal, not stitch counting. We have found however, that authentic gear and proper attitudes are vital for obtaining a more authentic experience. For a weekends at a time we try to live as closely as we can (including military discipline, gear, rations, marches, sleeping accommodations, etc) to how they did. We do interpretation at Fort Bowie, Fort Whipple, and other local historic sites. We also encourage members to travel back East for quality events when possible.
