This site devotes itself exclusively to American Civil War History and Reenacting. We focus on developing authentic military impressions of the Civil War era, with primary emphasis on education through research. We provide images and excerpts from both diaries and letters to document our work. We discuss the equipment, accoutrements and clothing (as well as appropriate etiquette and conversation for the era) of the common soldier in the ranks.
We hope our efforts support a better understanding of the men and women who sacrificed themselves in the greatest conflict ever waged on this continent.
Guiding Priciples
General John Brown Gordon
"The unseemly things which occurred in the great conflict between the States should be forgotten, or at least forgiven, and no longer permitted to disturb complete harmony between North and South.... It will be a glorious day for our country when all the children within its borders shall learn that four years of fratricidal war between the North and the South was waged by neither with criminal or unworthy intent, but by both to protect what they conceived to be threatened rights and imperiled liberty; that the issues which divided the sections were born when the Republic was born, and were forever buried in an ocean of fraternal blood."
