The 18th South Carolina Light Siege Artillery, Battery B, C.S.A. Units
Mission Statement


The mission of the 18th South Carolina Light Siege Artillery, Battery “B”,
C.S.A. Reenacting Group is to safely and accurately portray a Confederate
artillery/mortar battery during the American Civil War. Our unit is a family
oriented, historically accurate, educational reenactment group based in the
Metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona area. A key part of our mission is education
of the public through school presentations, battle reenactments, and “Live
Fire” demonstrations. We work diligently to perfect our impressions of the
trials and tribulations of 19th century military camp living, and work with
all other Civil War reenactment groups to successfully portray our era of
interest as true living historians

Benefits of joining the 18th South Carolina Light Siege Artillery, Battery
“B”, C.S.A. Reenacting Group:

• No annual dues
• Actively Participate as a Living Historian
• Relaxing with friends who share a common bond and affection for Civil War
reenacting, artillery, weapons, and black powder fun
• No unit politics we are all equals, lets just be safe and respectful
within the reenacting community
• Experience reenactors or new comers to the hobby are welcome
• Unit participates in “Live Fire” events as well as reenacting events
• Participate as much or as little as your budget or private time allows

This is a great way to educate the public on your southern heritage and
pride.

Confederate Infantry and both sides Artillery. However pay close and
you can get some nice peeks at all of the mounted Cav that graced our
event and the stout. Union Infantry.

I just wanted to remind everyone of the Photos from Picacho Pass 2006
my wife took last year. I just added a couple more to go with them.
They are posted under the "photo" tab of this group once you login to
the main page. If you have other photos from last year what a great
place this is to post and share them! I also put them on the New Mexico
Yahoo Group with some of their event photos.

Of course the weather was worse than it will be in a week and a half
from today... but maybe it will be some inspiration for some of y'all.
Will cya all in a week and a half!

Thanks to Bill Hutto for the great pictures!!!

Feel free to add more from the event to that folder!

Jason Coffey

Perhaps he feels like a lot of us do, that information about
historical events are not always listed here. The more information,
means more participation at events.

Ave Omnes,
	 I'm just writing this quick note to let everyone here know that there will
be a workshop meeting of Legion Six at my home in Surprise on this
Saturday, the 10th.
	 If you're interested or curious about reenacting Roman Legionaries or
other 2nd century impressions, come on by between 10 and 3 and we'll
introduce you to what we do. For a headstart, check out our website at
www.legionsix.org.
	 If you'd like specific directions to my home near the Surprise Stadium
just south of Bell, give me a call at 818-800-8284 on my cell phone.

Caius Man, aka
Gaius Manlius Magnus, www.legionsix.org

Glen,
Still not sure I follow the logic. If the problem is that people
aren't posting enough in one Yahoo group I don't see how dividing the
efforts to get information out between it and another Yahoo group will
improve things.

Nonetheless, I wish the best of luck with the efforts. Maybe the
newness will get people interested again.

Don't waste your time with this list. If you don't kiss Scott Hinkle's butt
the moderator won't let you post.

I attempted to post an announcement about Chad's planned event and It was
deleted for "Mudslinging"

Here is my post. You be the judge.

Ha! I thought you were not there Troy. Go figure you shaved and I
grew a little fuzz. Have fun out at Red River!

Anyhow...

As always our Las Vegas group (9th US Infantry/www.snlha.org) had a
great time. I actually had the time for a chance to check out Spencer
& Jackson's awesome show. Since we ended up with 50 percent less
people than expected a week out, Captain Jolley was kind enough to
let us fall in with him. It worked out really well as Don and Roger's
group is not only regular army, but also about the same style my
folks are use to. Working as the Skirmish group was a plesant change
of pace since we are always part of the Main Body in Southern CA, or
have to strictly keep the close order appearance in local Living
History.

I also got to run with Sgt. Brubakers (sorry for butchering the
spelling!!!) Dismounted Cav. They are plesantly aggressive and we had
a nice time together, although I missed leading my own men on the
field. I had the pleasure of getting to know a few of them last year
up in Las Vegas, NV at the Spring Mountain Ranch event. It is not
often I get to wipe out my command 3 out of 4 times in a weekend!
Albeit the smoke from the "wagons" got us the fourth time when we
pressed the wagons/pyrotechnics. Ok, so they smoked us out with real
smoke and repeled us... I usually never get to empty a full cylinder,
much less clean them both out in one battle. So that was fun. I even
got a few shots off at my Las Vegas Confederates and the jovial Tom
Atkins from the ACWS. Of course Tom ended up being the death of my on
Sunday morning! The Sgt has a great comand that is always enjoyable
to hang out with, and an enthusiastic new guidon bearer.

Which reminds me... We appreciate the mixed unit that Arizona
supplied to our first year in Las Vegas last year. Most of my folks
were able to put faces to units and realised that the entire AZ Union
Army sent at least a couple of their folks from each unit. It made me
happy that they could see that for themselves! You (AZ) significantly
helped attribute to the 330 Reenactors, and provided at least 25
percent of the outnumbered Union Infantry. We will continue the
practice of the early battle on Sunday followed by the musket raffle.
This year I look foward to giving more of a rest in the middle of the
battle to give the Medical Corps more of a show (and the Infantry a
breather!!!). Please make sure to read the ACWS Gold Book available
at www.acws.net or www.snlha.org as we PROVIDE YOU FREE Travel and
Participatin Insurance in our costs (if you pre-registar). Just
another benifit of attending this Invitational! Bouties should be
similar to last year as well.

We look foward to your presence again this year in Las Vegas, and
hopefully even the honorable... yet "snake loving"... Captain
Shoemaker can join us from Albuquerque. It was really a cute snake
Don :> A moment in Reenacting I am sure not to forget... "Shoemaker
v. the Snake".

Due to conflicting planning we will not be able to make it to
Glorietta as a Unit (1st weekend in May). We will be encouraging our
individuals to go, and fall in with one of the US Regular units. In
las Vegas, we are still "new" in that aspect even though we have been
doing Reenacting locally for over a decade. The transition from
strictly Living History to Reenacting as well causes us to struggle
for numbers out of town. Additionally the added challenge due to our
extreames in range of age. Parental support can be a real hamper, and
25 percent of the SNLHA is provided by Venture Crew 1855 (Boy Scouts
14 to 21 male or female). We are anticipating some support for the
Flagstaff Tactical as well, even though we do not typically attend
non-public events due to time constraints..

Which segways me to Picacho Pass 2008...

Yes, we will be back! We want to continue to support our fellow
Reenactors, and the Historic Battlefield. Again due to Parental
constraints, we will only be able to participate on Saturday next
year. At best we can fall in for the first battle on Sunday depending
if we were able to get packed before 9am, but will be unable to do
more than that. We tried this year, but due to complications in the
afternoon, left substantially later than planned. This meant that I
delivered 4 sets of teenagers back to their parents at 11:45pm on a
school night.

In your service

Jonathan,

 

Who deleted your posting?  I haven't heard of anything about this event.  When is the date?

Don,

This message is a bit out of context. A David Chernin started some
list and emailed everyone including myself and other WWII reenactors
about his "new list" that would be the nirvana of all reenacting
information lists. So I posted an announcement that Chad Lares of
the Museum of Military History was planning an event. It is a
timeline of the soldier that would reach back as far as Ancient
Rome.

The event is in the pre-planning stages and so I wanted to let all
who are interested in helping out know so they could get involved.

I explained that Chad is a reenactor and he understands the value of
the reenactor to these events, and so Chad will not charge
reenactors to attend the event. Chad will even provide powder and
ammo to those demonstrations that use it. Chad will provide meals
for the reenactors.

Lastly the Museum is a registered Non-Profit Organization and so any
contributions that your or your group makes are tax deductible.

When i posted this information Chernin, called it "Mudslinging" and
refused to post it. When I asked how providing information was
mudslinging, he called it "innuendo". When I asked "Innuendo against
who exactly" he blew up.

If describing how an event promoter is going to treat reenactors
like a valued asset, and provide for them is "Mudslinging and
innuendo" against someone else, I have to wonder about the character
of that someone else would is threatened by the compliment directed
at another.

If any of you would like to help the Museum of Military History
build this event from the ground up, please contact Chad Lares at

chadlares@...


Or visit the Museum's website at

Troy,
I sure wish I could have made it to Banks Grand Retreat. Sounds like
it was a really great event for authentic reenactors who wanted to
experience the life of a Civil War soldier.

I know we have disagreed in the past but now maybe you'll understand
why I say that Arizona events just don't make the cut. Too many
little fish trying to be big fish in a little puddle of a reenacting
community. Too much politics, farby and inauthentic events, and
reenacors who really have no clue about actually experiencing real
history seem to be the order of the day in Arizona. Picacho, Pioneer
Village, or American Heritage will never even come close to an event
like Banks Grand Retreat.
