I've been a Civil War reenactor for 20 years in East Tennessee and my regiment is the 79th New York State Militia, Co. A - which may well have drilled on those very grounds. I've never even been to New York, but I enjoy studying the history of that fine regiment. Can you folks in New York imagine what it's like to be a Southern country boy and yet portraying a New York regiment in Civil War reenactments all across Tennessee? It can be plenty tough, brother! But the real 79th fought all across this region and distinguished itself at many a battle in Tennessee and I'm proud to wear my New York uniform down here.<br /><br />Do any reenacting units in New York today portray the 79th? You should come on down here in October for out Battle of Ft. Sanders (near Knoxville TN) and join with your fellow Cameron Highlanders!<br /><br />Curt Phillips, Pvt.<br />Co.

As a ...Oh boy this article really got me worried. <br /><br />As a WWII buff and re-enactor, we were very kinda nervous "Inglourious Basterds" might make WWII trendy - clothes, style, etc. Like how, after decades of doing so, I had stop wearing my Grandfather's beloved fedora and cartigans now that everyone wants to dress like "Madmen." I didn't want to appear to be H.I.P.+, the disease that affects hipsters.<br /><br />However, I've been wearing my Grandfather's WWII Army Air Foce uniform jacket around NYC for years and never saw anyone try to copy the look.<br /><br />Hipsters stay away from WWII stuff!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.com
