  • Vicksburg Is the Key: Registration Now Open

    The registration for the 150th Anniversary Living History at Vicksburg is now open. Please see the event website here: http://vicksburgisthekey.weebly.com/index.html

    Thanks go in large part to Marshall Joyce for putting the page together and keeping me on task to provide the information. A reading list will be added shortly.

    Re: Vicksburg Is the Key: Registration Now Open

    Just read the web-site...particularly the Federal requirements. First, I say this not to be nit-picky, but whoever put this together needs to proofread before publishing.

    F. Bayonet Scabbard:
    1. U.S. 2 River Scabbard for Springfield or Enfield.
    *No 7 River Scabbards

    and pardon my ignorance, but what is a "Flat Haversack event" and why does someone need to check a Haversack at registration?

    at Winchester, VA. Aged 26 years.

      Flat haversack = rations provided.

            Thanks to the IR guys for getting this one together. I will pass along the information to the Georgia crew, and others who want to attend the Peach Stater effort.

              I join Herb with thanks for organizing this. Individuals who pay their registrations and attend have little idea how much effort it takes to organize something like this. And there are rations, too. That multiplies the organizational headaches. Many will volunteer to do an event like this one time. Few will do it more than once. Thanks, Pat and the IR's, for organizing another living history at Vicksburg.

                    Thanks for the info. Registration is on the way for one of the Missouri boys.

                      I wouldn't plan on eating in style for this one Sean, and if you're going CS you may want to fatten up before you get there. Looking real hard at this one...

                        Hard to think of wearing domet flannel in MS in May. Will period waist belts be aloud as a substitute for suspenders?
