Bennett Place, April 1999 |
|
|
|
| Bennett Place was the scene of the surrender negotiations between US General William T. ("Uncle Billy") Sherman and CS General Joseph ("Old Joe") E. Johnston 18 and 26 April 1865. Johnston surrendered his "Army of the South" (troops of the Army of Tennessee, the Department of North Carolina, and the Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida) in the largest surrender of Confederate forces. |
|
|
| We traditionally do this event as Western Federal infantry. There were no US or CS infantry present, however there is always a large contingent of NC CS infantry reenactors. In honor of one of our favorite books, we portray the fictional Co. Q of Si Klegg's 200th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. |

McDowell, May 1999 |
|
|
|
|
| McDowell was an awesome campaign event sponsored by our Battalion - Dave Pridgeon's 5th Battalion - on beautiful ground in the mountains of western Virginia. We camped Friday night next to the original battlefield and fought on it Saturday. Saturday night we camped in the mountains and had a great running fight through a 19th century vista (complete with snake rail fences) into town. The actual engagement between CS General Thomas J. Jackson and US General Milroy took place during the 1862 Valley Campaign. |

| The RPs enjoyed being a part of an excellent living history hosted by the 83rd PVI. We bivouacked right behind the Pennsylvania Monument on the Park. |
