Defending the Heartland- Fort Donelson February 20-23, 2020

[coastaltrash]

This will be a recreation of the 49th Tennessee as they begin to move into position and build Fort Donelson. Active fatigue duty, drill and soldier life will be the orders of the day. Guidelines and registration information will be posted soon. Below are the company commanders, some of the best in the hobby!

Just to clarify- you do not have to be on site Thursday to participate. We are opening the site and work and going live Thursday afternoon. Registration will open again Friday morning and all bringing tents need to be on site by 3:00 on Friday and we are closing registration by 7:00 pm Friday night. Guys have called for longer events, here you go. We will have everyone on the road by 10 on Sunday.

Perhaps I need to break out my buffalo coat and show up at Donelson with some pies...? Thoughts?

One of my all-time favorite moments:

“Did you take the pie because you were hungry or did you take it because you just like pie?”

“I just like pie.”
