Posted for Joshua Drega and Patrick Parker- event organizers
Who: Company E, F, and G 52nd Va Inf.
What: Battle of Cross Keys (left flank action), 5 mile fundraiser march to Port Republic and Battle of Port Republic (lewis House action)
Where: This will take place on the original Battleground in Cross Keys, Va and on the Original ground in Port Port Republic, Va. The March will follow the closest original route available.
When: June 10-12 2016
Why: This unit action has not been portrayed before and has not been accurately portrayed nor fielded since 1865. This is event to not only raise awareness of the Battlefields at Cross Keys/Port Republic but to raise money for the Battlefield through a 5 mile march.
Scenarios:
Day one (Cross Keys): 52nd Va Moves up to defensive position to support Ewells Artillery. Col Skinner calls for his men to move onto the Left flank towards the end of the fighting. They moved down what is now Artillery road and move through the woods to defend the left flank so that the rest of the army can move towards Port Republic to support Jackson. They are actively engaged by Artillery fire then move out to defend against 4 "distinct" union charges before driving the enemy off and retreating to Port Republic.
Day two: TBA - details coming soon
Uniform standards: All must be appropriate cut cloth and quality... Grey frock or commutation jackets / Staunton Depot jackets. Grey pants with black stripe or civilian trousers. Butternut or grey forage cap, civilian slouch, or captured/ militia Hardee. US equipment with some CS such as roller or militia clip corner buckle or civilian equivalent. More details forthcoming.
