"I need to get the rations squared away this week so that I can get them
ordered."

Hey, Tom Craig, just in case you're contemplating an issue of green
(unroasted) coffe beans, I know where they can be had for $2.99 per pound.
It's in the South End of Boston. Let me know if you're interested.

Tom,
What's up dogg? I was gonna make it to Templeton on Saturday but decided
otherwise given the weather situation.  I figured out why i haven't been
getting your emails.  When you changed emails your new email address did not
get transfered to my secure people list, so you were nothing but junk
email... sorry Tom.  I also dropped my cell phone in the toilet about a
month ago and am yet to get a new one, long story.  Things have been extra
crazy around here and I've been extra broke not being able to take weekends
off like I used to.  I am, however, definitely going to Borderlands.  I work
unitl 9:30pm on Friday and I plan on heading toward Easton right after work.
   I'll attempt to find you guys, but if I don't I'll bivouac somewhere and
meet up with you Sat. morning.  I'm sure I'll talk to before then.

-Jason

Lads,
    As Borderlands gets closer, I just want to remind you to look over
the files on guard mount. We will be running an all night picket
(roughly 9 pm - 6am).  I will most likely divide the company into two
platoons for this duty. This means nco's and officers will be working
their asses off (especially if you have to supervise Andy Metheny's
platoon) As a veteran of these details, I personally think it makes
more sense to run two 4+/- hour guard mounts rather than 2 hour
mounts.  The reason is simple: with 4 hour mounts, you guys can at
least get some sleep when not on duty.  If you are awoken every two
hours, you'll be a mess in the morning.  Honestly, even when the event
sucks, a good guard scenario can be a hell of a lot of fun.  We guarded
the Cornfield at the last big Antietam event with the Potomac Legion.
The battles were kind of sucky, but our guys kept talking about how
cool it was to reenact this very neglected aspect of soldier's life.

Hi Tyler!
    As this is our first outing, I am not going to be over the top
about early/mid/late war designations. Personally, I don't think that
you can go wrong by shooting for 1863.

Here is a link to the event site that contains "Battle Scenarios":

 

http://members.tripod.com/borderlandsevent/scenario.htm

 

Apparently Saturday is supposed to be March 1865 outside Petersburg (Ft. Stedman) and Sunday is to be Appomattox.  So, I guess for first person interaction, we should treat it as the last few weeks of the war in mid-Southern Virginia.  I guess that would make the 21st century "spectators" secesh, for interaction purposes.

 

I certainly don't run the show here, but since the event has an overall "scenario" (as loosely as it may be followed by everyone) It's my suggestion that we ought to try to work hand in hand and conduct ourselves consistently with it.

 

If there is enough interest, maybe next season we can plan a more specific scenario with an identified regimental designation. Since this is experimenatl for now, let's keep our fingers crossed.

 

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at Borderlands/Fort Stedman/Appomatox.  It will be nice to work with a company sized group of like-minded reenactors without having to drive 10 hours.

Tyler and Co,

    The event is definitely 1865.  If you go to the event plan in the yahoo group you will see that our "guiding impression" is to be the 29th Mass in the Appomattox campaign.  I didn't make any noise about 1st person etc or being super specfic to the unit portrayed due to the nature of the event and the novelty of our efforts.

   Check out the files on the yahoo group.  If you have any questions, concerns or comments please contact me ASAP so I can get things straightened out.

   Take care,

More info:

- we will be portraying a generic infantry company in the Army of the
Potomac.  If you have forage caps without insignia, that would be the
way to go.  As we are not potraying the 357th Wisconsin Deer
Fornicators, please leave the ostrich plumes, deer carcasses and
Cavalier sombreros at home.

As Tom mentioned, the 29th Mass is our guiding principle, but for those
who don't know them they were a bunch of wasp's who were put into the
Irish Brigade at the beginning of the war.  They were in the Army of
the Potomac, so you have a good idea of their dress.  They were not
Irish, so you don't need to use your "Quiet Man" voice that your wife
swears sounds exactly like Ward Bond. ;)

Lads,
    I know that rank structure is the big remaining question.  I will be
upfront and say that Tom and I have been thrown a curveball in the past
few days, and our numbers may have shrunk from 50 to 35, but 35 is an
AMAZING number for a first time out as a group.  After much
deliberation and consultation with Kautz, et al, if our numbers remain
at or around 35, the rank structure will be as follows:

Capt. Todd Bryda, 28th Mass
1st Lt. Walter Sy, 6th NH
2nd Lt. Scott Sleeper, 6th NH
1st Sgt. Tom Craig, 1st Mass Cav
2nd Sgt. Tom Bierly, 28th Mass

If the numbers fluctuate down, Scott has graciously agreed to become
2nd Sgt., but we'll wait and see.  Except for our recent surprise, our
numbers only seem to be increasing.  As the guys who tend to share our
philosophy rarely get the Thursday night flu, I don't really expect to
lose many men.

As stated previously, we will be using platoons for guard mounts, and
I've already worked out a basic idea of how we will deploy, so officers
and nco's need to be sharp on the procedure.


When it comes to corporals, I would like to hold off for another day or
so and see if we get any more bodies.  My philosophy about corporals is
that I would rather see them show up as privates and then reveive a
brevet for the weekend.  As soon as Tom and I get final rosters, I'll
let you know.

Please write with questions!

YHS,
Todd

I hope everyone is looking forward to this event.  If you have any last
minute comments/concerns/questions, ask them soon.  Otherwise, I look
forward to seeing you in the field.  If you need to find Tom or me at
the event, we'll be in blue. :)

YHS
Todd

Lads,
    Here is the final rank structure for this weekend:

Capt. Todd Bryda, 28th Mass
1st Lt. Walter Sy, 6th NH
2nd Lt. Scott Sleeper, 6th NH
1st Sgt. Tom Craig, 1st Mass Cav
2nd Sgt. Tom Bierly, 28th Mass

Corps. PETER CHAPMAN and CPL MATTY CRONIN (6th NH); Mark DeAngelis and
Mike Jubinville (28th Mass).  If we need more, I'll brevet on site.

Also, even if you didn't buy rations, please prepare to give 2.00 each
to cover the cost of water for Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The weather is looking FINE!!

YHS,
Todd

Hi all:

I was searching the web for a letter or something interesting from
March or April 1865 in and around Petersburg to help set the mood
for the weekend.  I didn't find anything that grabbed me.  But I did
find this letter from Lt. John V. Hadley of the 7th Indiana.  He
tells an anecdote about an experience while detached on picket
duty.  It could make for an interesting first person "reminiscence"
among lads shooting the breeze.  As always, the letters manifest the
humanity of it all.  I hope you enjoy it.


Army of the Potomac
Pratts Point Va. Ap[ril], 26, 63

Miss Mary J Hill
Pittsboro Ind.

My dear girl
I haven't received your letter this week. Am sadly disappointed. Yet
it may come this evening, I think it will. At leas I hope it will.
Oh it is so hot to day. We have just returned to Quarters from
General Inspection. We'v' been out since 9 o'clock this morning. Tis
now 1 P.M. Sweating and swearing was the order of the forenoon.
Stood in column for three hours wigh knapsacks. Who wouldn't swear?
Who wouldn't sweat under the scorching rays of this days sun? But
tis over now & who cares? Only dread the next one.

Havn't any news fro you to day. Will go back a few days when I was
Last on picket. Tell you of a little incident or two. It so happened
that I had command of out Company on that time. Luke couldn't go
out. "Had business" in Camp. My services were not needed as Adjutant
on the Picket line & from request took out the Co. A mile of the
line fell into my charge. On my territory there lived an old man
with immense wealth & a small family. He had considerable personal
property yet left. Was once well fixed to live. Had many out houses,
cribs, graineries, sheds, &c, and 30 or 40 Negroes. The old man was
radically Secesh. Had one son at home Discharged from Stewarts
[Major General J. E. B. Stuart's] rebel Cavelry & two more still in
the Southern ranks. Well it so happened that on the night that we
took command of his house that 12 of his most valueable Negores,
hitched up a yoke of fine oxen to the only cart the old man had left—
put in their little Domestics & Drove over to the Provost Marshel of
our Corps. Of course they got transportation to Washington and their
team turned over to the Quartermaster's Department.

On arriving on the line the day previous it was my duty to take a
man & relieve one that was posted at the old man's house as a safe
guard. I detailed John Ridgeway of Brownsburg as good looking and
fine a man as is in the Camp. Was escorted over by the relieved
Lieut—introduced to the family—highly recommended [and] received
kindly. And evry thing promised me rustic enjoyment (for by the way
there was a young daughter, 20 years old, who smiled and courtecied
when my friend Lieut Smith 34 N. Y. remarked "that you will find
good protection in the hands of my young friend Hadley["].) Sat 10
minutes with the family. Promised to call frequently. Went to my
post—spent the night as usual in the rain.

Still rained hard in the morning. Concluded to go over to Bullards
and stay while it rained so hard. Says I "Dave hurry & prepare our
coffee for I must go over & see how Ridgeway gets along". Coffee
soon ready—drank it, filled my pipe—started. Arrived at the house—
darted in out of the pelting rain with a light heart. Felt that I
had shelter for the day. No body in the room but Ridgeway. He arose
laughing & remarked "Hadley there is Hell here this morning. The old
man's negroes ran away last night—took his oxen & cart. They accuse
us of causing it—mad—furious". Just here we heard a low rumbling
noise in some other apartment which sounded much like the frightful
noise of a hundred horse in a desperate charge. As it neared us,
however, we found that it proceded only from, chairs, churns,
tables, stools, &c flying before the approach of four infuriated
demons. Father, mother, sister, brother, came dashing headlong into
the room with faces red & fiery as a boiled lobster and tongues
making a worse jargon than was heard at the tower of Babel. Louder
and more threatening than was made by the two Devils among the
tombs. Ridgeway sceized his faithful musket, & prepared for the
conflict. My sword was snatched from its sheath for I thought there
would be sharp work for it to do. And both standing at a guard we
prepared for the conflict.

Soon discovered that words would be the only arms used. Met them
best we could. Scene closed by me ordering the guard to camp. They
now be came suppliant. Said they would take back all that was said &
feel sorry for it. Begged Ridgeway to stay & me to let him. But I
wasn't "letten" like I was. Ridgeway wasn't "stayen" like he was.
Could tell you what they said but wont here. Want something to tell
you when again sit by your side.

Hadn't been half an hour from the house when I saw the boys charging
on his out houses. It was raining. They didn't leave a board on top
or side. Also carried off all his garden fence for fire. I didn't
care—glad to see it. Went over to [Brigadier] Gen. [James S.]
Wadsworth and reported to me. Expected to be Court Martialed for
taking the Guarg [Guard] off without proper authority. I sent a
statement of the facts to the Gen. Guess they were satisfactory.
Grand Officer of the Pickets endorsed my actions. [Brigadier] Gen
[Lysander] Cutler said I did right. Don't care—wouldn't guard such a
man if [Major] Gen [Joseph] Hooker would give me positive orders.

Mary what would you say if I were to accept with an Adjutantcy of a
Negro Regt? I am still Acting Adjutant of our Regt. Must close—Happy
Dreames to night, I salute you.

It looks like the good Lt. Hadley never took the position in the
Negro regiment.  But, he was captured in May '64 during the
Wilderness and spent seven months in a rebel prison.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all this weekend.

Cpl. Mark DeAngelis
28th Mass. Co. K
NEB Campaigner Co. (29th or 19th Mass. or "Grant's Generics")

I just wanted to thank you guys for one of the best weekends that I
have ever had at a New England event or at a reenacting event in
general.  I've been reenacting for nearly 15 years, and I never saw a
better group of guys thrown together into a tough situation and come
out so well.  Your skills and openess to new experiences was an
amazing thing to watch.  I'll just never be able to look at a horse
the same way again....or think of Brazil....or wander around the
woods without looking for fat, bald rebs with high voices. :)

YHS,

P.S.  If anybody is interested in attending Genessee with the 28th
Mass, Co. K, it is sort of by invitation only and the deadline is
soon
(Absolutely NO walk-ons).  Check the site out (www.gcv.org) and get
back to me asap.

Gentlemen,
The Second Rhode Island, Co. K and Slocums will be sponsoring an
event
on May 5-7, 2006 at the New Bedford Gun Club in Dartmouth Mass. As
well as tactical skirmishes, the event will attempt to recreate the
events of May 5, 1864 when the Second Rhode Island faced the 23rd
North Carolina in the Wilderness, and sustained sixty percent
casualties. This is a campaigner event, and registration will be
limited to 60 rank and file per side, minus officers, and staff. The
site is located on 300 acres in Dartmouth, Massachusetts and
resembles
the area where these two units fought. This will be a non-spectator
event as well. We would be interested in hearing what is the opinion
of the event. Those pards knowing Rebs, are kindly asked to forward
this on to them, as attracting the Union forces will not be
difficult,
but Rebs will be.
Yours,
Rob Grandchamp

Guys,

   I wanted to second what Todd said, and to thank you all personally for your participation.  The weekend went even better than we planned, and I can honestly say was an awesome time.  Great experience, great comrades, great fun.  I was really impressed with the way that everyone stepped up and did his share.  Guard mount was taxing, but no one grumbled about the lack of sleep or the meager rations.  Heck every sentry challenge I heard was right on the money...Halt!  Who goes there?!

   I am in the process of putting together an AAR of the whole deal that I will post hear.  As I said on Sunday I would like to hear any and all comments that folks have, good or bad.  Going forward we can build on what we did and learned to make the next time even better.

   As I also said on Sunday, there are other events that have campaigner potential in this season, and there will be others on the horizon for next season.  Now that Borderlands is in the history books and worked well we can start planning other stuff.  For those with Confederate kit, there is an open invitation to come to Liberty and work on the earthworks.  We (Todd and I) are in the fetal stage of planning for Ryegate, and there is the 6th NH tactical in September.  If you know of other stuff out there put it out and spread the word.

    Thanks again for all your efforts!

       Tom Craig

All,
Our event is open to those with moderateley good kit, ie Jarnagin quality, but
the heart has to be into this one, as it will be both physically, and mentally
rigorous. Co. K itself is half mainstream/half campaigner but they are lending
us the site, so we have to go by them. Campaigners with top kit are preffered,
but we are looking for both numbers, and quality at this one.

I also wanted to thank all of you in the federal company for the great
weekend we had. It was the best event I've been to in New England. It
was good ground, good weather and good pards and I was home in 45 min!
I've become very excited about events in good old NE and I believe
this is the start of something pretty good we should not let it die.

Also wanted to especially thank the 4 young confederate campaigners
that harrassed our picket lines all night. What a great job! They get
a special vote of thanks. It took us until 4:30am to capture them.
Their efforts, kits and impression were first rate. Also tell the
Mexican I loved his boost to my coffee. May be next time he'll take
the oath.

Also kudos to the Goodrichs they had the longest drive 5 hrs from
northern VT (I leaned how to cook corn meal from them).

So until next time,

Frank Lilley
28th Mass, Co. K

Good morning lads,

 

Hope this note finds you all well and in good spirits on this 22nd day of June.

 

I am writing to request all of you that plan on attending the Engagement at Roundstone Farm in Marlboro in Sept. respond to this email by giving your name, phone number,mailing address, and unit affiliation. Doing so will help us plan accordingly.

 

There are some of you on the campaigner forum that I have spoken with and for one reason or another lost your contact info. Rob of the Slocum Avengers, Tyler & Hen of the Green Mt. Mess to name a few.

 

If you have pards in your group that would like to attend and I do not have their contact info please include that in your email. I know some fellows out there do not have internet so give them a call and get the info to me please.

 

In addition, if you are sending me a list of those in your unit that will be attending please designate a contact person so I can send all the reg packets to one person rather than 6 or 7 people per unit.

 

You boys in the 5th NH and 3rd Vermont I have not heard from you in a while in regards to your intentions. Please get in touch with me so I know your numbers. I will open the event up to other campaigner groups if the interest in your unit is not there.

 

I thank you all for your time and support.

 

YOS

R.C.Tarbox

Good morning lads,

 

Hope this note finds you all well and in good spirits on this 22nd day of June.

 

I am writing to request all of you that plan on attending the Engagement at Roundstone Farm in Marlboro in Sept. respond to this email by giving your name, phone number,mailing address, and unit affiliation. Doing so will help us plan accordingly.

 

There are some of you on the campaigner forum that I have spoken with and for one reason or another lost your contact info. Rob of the Slocum Avengers, Tyler & Hen of the Green Mt. Mess to name a few.

 

If you have pards in your group that would like to attend and I do not have their contact info please include that in your email. I know some fellows out there do not have internet so give them a call and get the info to me please.

 

In addition, if you are sending me a list of those in your unit that will be attending please designate a contact person so I can send all the reg packets to one person rather than 6 or 7 people per unit.

 

You boys in the 5th NH and 3rd Vermont I have not heard from you in a while in regards to your intentions. Please get in touch with me so I know your numbers. I will open the event up to other campaigner groups if the interest in your unit is not there.

 

I thank you all for your time and support.

 

YOS
