Mark Taylor has had to back out due to his dad having to go to the Saw Bones....Gents please keep him and his dad in your thoughts and prayers. With that being said I have an open slot in C company if someone would like to step in and register.

Comrades,

I was doing a search on the Ole' AC and ran across this old thread, with a great picture of the AOT Soldiers from 1864. So those of you, like me, looking for some historical background to refine your impression; here it is...

http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8067#post8067

These Gentlemen are Prisoners and the image was made in Chicago in late 1864. One thing I noted was the preponderance of hats vice caps amongst the prisoners.

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

That is a really good pic showing troops that are as close to what they looked like on campaign as we can get. No "lets dress up and put on our cravats for the picture", just AOT soldiers as they were. A great research/reference item. Thanks for sharing!!

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

Always liked this photo.

Rare indeed, imagine how many photos like these were destroyed or lost over the years.

Pete,

Thank you so much for posting that. That is a stellar visual for the uys trying to figure out "what to wear" to the 'Sac.

Herb, I aim to please... I just wonder if I'm going to be writing morning reports out in long hand in 10 days...

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

Do you have any more info on this pic? Were they in route to a prison or where they were captured? I had 3 ancestors that were captured at the Battle of Resaca which were sent to Alton Prison in Ill. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of them...it sure would be something if they were in this pic.

Jason,

Take a read through the the original thread it was posted in...

http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8067#post8067

This photo came from a 1991 Military Images Magazine, can't remember what issue.

Titled; "Just from Dixie, 1864". Publishers think it is a photo of Western Confederates (AOT) taken in the streets of Chicago. According to Les Jensen, there are Columbus Depot, and North Carolina Jackets seen. Note the different shirts, and Slouch Hats. Knapsacks & Civilian Sack Coat in the ranks?
Currious about what looks like a striped Blanket slung on the far right Soldier's shoulder...

this image was a carte de visite that came from the album of a 105th Ohio boy, who had been a guard at Camp Douglas P.O.W. Camp in Chicago. No hard date is given, so pinning down the time period may be impossible.

The Image is described as being from Camp Douglas in Chicago when some soldiers of the 105th Ohio were detailed as guards there in 1864.

"I just wonder if I'm going to be writing morning reports out in long hand in 10 days..."

Yes Pete, just you...... I am currently awaiting word on what is actually needed in the paperwork department from the higher ups. You'll get some paper work. Trust me on that.

Something about a Battalion Funnel Cake Report.

Cool... I need some practice and an excuse to pack the traveling inkwell and pen for the job.

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

I have heard from someone who has attended this event in the past that is good being on original ground in all but the rebs outnumber the feds like 8-1, and it says in the event info that some rebs might have to galvanize, so bring your blue suits boy, just kidding, maybe next time we go south to go fed and cause real trouble with the natives.

[trippcor]

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

Actually in 2007 the Feds out numbered the Rebs. It was glorious.

Re: 145th Battle of Resaca (May 15-17) - Campaigner Battalion

One thing about the battle and tour. If we do choose to fight the battle for the fort who is leading us and if we do the tour can are we going to find the spot that Sam Watkins and the 1st TN was at during the battle? My friend was at the event a few years ago and I am glad to hear more feds show up.
