Re: Battle at Fort Sanders-Knoxville Tenn

Greg,

I'd love to be there again in October, but unfortunately I am committed to the Marine Corps Historical Company for That weekend to participate in the 150th U.S. Marines Capture of John Brown at Harpers Ferry.

Re: Battle at Fort Sanders-Knoxville Tenn

I can certainly understand. I would think that the capture of John Brown by the Marines will be quite an experience.
See you at Resaca

Re: Battle at Fort Sanders-Knoxville Tenn

Folks,
We are asking that each man participating in the company, select a man from the muster roll (below) and research the individual. You will portray that man during the weekend. Please look at census reports to see what pre war info you can find. Once you have selected your person, please let me know, so as not to duplicate the persona. Your persona may have to change a bit, depending upon selection of NCOs and the sort.
This will allow better 1st person interaction during the event. Specific details will be posted on expectations of first person rolls. Keep an eye out for future posts!!

Re: Battle at Fort Sanders-Knoxville Tenn

Do they have to living at the time of the battle?

Re: Battle at Fort Sanders-Knoxville Tenn

Thomas,
I would prefer that the man be actually "fit for duty" at the time of the Knoxville siege. See what you can figure out and let me know. If you have a special connection, it may be allowable.

Cheers
