What: 150th Battle of Fort McAllister
When: December 12 – December 14th, 2014
Where: Fort McAllister State Park, Near Richmond Hill and Savannah, Georgia
Who: Armory Guards hosting a Federal company under the overall command of Joe Blunt
POC: Herb Coats - hcoats007 @ gmail . com
Preservation Effort: In the works. We plan on having some “fun” set up for the company members that benefits the park’s coffers in the
The Plan: The Armory Guards are hosting a Federal company for the 150th Fort McAllister event December 12-14, 2014 at the actual site, 150 years from the actual date of the battle. We don't have a single unit impression because we are following actions from different units in Hazen's Division. The guiding unit impression will more than likely chosen in the near future.
We have the thumbs up to conduct a march on the park property simulating the Federal movement to the fort, we'll be following the battle scenario as close to the actual timing as possible, and we'll be bivouacking in the fort Saturday night as per history while the Johnny's get put under guard.
Besides some local living history type events around middle and south Georgia towns, this is the only campaigner friendly event that deals with the Savannah Campaign this year.
I am the POC for this effort. And the goal is to get 22-25 men in the company. A FB page has been set up, and so far there is good interest in this effort. I'm not looking for a folder since it is company level right now. Joe Blunt is the Federal commander, and he definitely would like to see more Federal campaigners at this one.
Uniform Guidelines are being fleshed out, but pretty much if you went to Bummers as a Federal, that kit is what we are looking for.
