Yes, suh,...he will start them out at Snake Creek Gap, and march them down Hwy 136 into Resaca. :D Just kidding. I'm a member of the Friends of Resaca, Tony, was in my reenactment group and I live here too. A great read prior to the battle is Phil Secrest's, "Battle Of Resaca" also the Atlanta Campaign.

Re: Resaca Guided Tour

I have managed to arrange what I think will be nice treat for those falling in with the Federal Campaigner Company being formed for Resaca. Tony Patton, a local historian and reenactor, has agreed to give a guided tour of the Resaca Battlefield on Friday night starting at 6 pm Friday evening. Tony is very active in the Friends of the Resaca Battlefield and is very knowledgeable about the battle and surrounding area. The tour will not only include the site where the event is taking place but also include near by sites and property.

Anyone falling in with the 7th Ohio will be able to take the tour. There will be no additional cost involved. My thanks to Tony for his willingness to do this for us.

We are up to 37 men registered so far for this effort. If we keep going we may have to split into to companies so we can maintain historically accurate numbers. An updated list has been posted on the efforts website.

Re: Resaca - May 18-20, 2007

I know of three 20th Corps badges recovered from the valley in front of Van Corputs Battery. One of those I believe was Id'd to an Eric Greiner, I can't think of the unit at this moment, (his picture is in the "Echoes of Battle" series -Atlanta Campaign. ) I know the metal badges weren't as common but there was a massive number of troops massed for the attack down the valley toward the Battery.

Re: Resaca - May 18-20, 2007

SCAR will also have some guys there to support Tripp's efforts. I know this is an adjunct to a mainstream event. But, the site is on original ground and on the actual annivesary date. I have always thought about how great it would be to improve the standards at this venue and I believe the way we start is through particpation and incremental change.

Re: Resaca - May 18-20, 2007

Mr. Heath...I am NOT going to let the cat out of the bag for which color the badges should be. Folks can easily do their own research for this..... cough, WHITE, cough ok so the cat is out now.

Admiral Duffer....the infamous LBL XX Corps badge will be there on my person at Resaca.

After looking at some different pictures of corps badges in the Herb Coats Memorial Civil War Picture Library I have to say that if I had the patience and time I would shoot for making a bone corps badge. No quips about dead animal parts on hats please!

[john duffer]

Re: Resaca - May 18-20, 2007

The LBL badges were green for 4th division but could no doubt be painted red, white or blue.

[Michael Comer]

Re: Resaca - May 18-20, 2007

Well actually I was thinking about that badge left over from LBL. Seemed like another good opportunity to use it but cloth will work too. I just didn't know if there had been a decision to have no such markings.
