“The Fight For Dixie’s Land” - 1864, Florida - After the Union disaster at Olustee in the Spring of 1864. The shattered remains of the Union Forces under the command of Brigadier General Seymour were placed on garrison duty at Jacksonville, Palatka, and various other locations. In hopes that Confederate forces in the area would not capitalize on their recent victory. What follows afterward is a struggle all but lost to history. In October of 2020, you will have the opportunity to experience war time Florida in a manner that has never been done before.
This is an immersive, force on force event for Authentic Civil War Living Historians, on and near the original ground. James Permane will command the Federal forces and Gavin Thomas will command the Confederate forces.
Money raised from the event will be going directly to preservation and memorial efforts. The Bronson House , and the USCT’s buried in Westview Cemetery are in desperate need of our attention. The website is a work in progress but it is up and running. Mark your calendars for October 23-25 , 2020 and spread the Word.
