  • Welcome to the Pontotoc MINUTE MEN!

    Comrades,

    This is just a short post to get things kicked off for this company.

    Can Stinnett and Nate Petersburg have been working very hard putting together a roster for the company and we are excited to have this folder on the AC to share information and to give our members a place to discuss the Manassas event as well as future events.

    Cam Stinett is working on a uniform information packet as well as a list of approved vendors. So, if you have questions - not only about what our uniform guidelines will be, but where you can fill your needs (and Christmas wish list) - keep an eye on this folder - our home on the Authentic Campaigner.

    Excited is not a strong enough word to describe to feeling I have about this company and the upcoming 150th season! I cannot wait to march with you fine men and to create a new group of memories that will last us a life time!

    More about the organization of the company and how it will be run will be forthcoming in the initial company newsletter.

    I beg to differ, Sir. I'm more excited than anybody. I'm texting McIntire about it as we speak.

        Ah, Brother Craddock I have contacted someone that should have some early war likenesses of the Pontotoc Minute Men and waiting their return call. At your beck and call Brother!

            Thanks Brother, trying to help all I can. Too long out of the ranks, itching and got to scratch it!
