When: July 18th and 19th, 2009
Where: Gilliam Park, Atlanta, Ga. We are one city block from where Mercer's Brigade hit portions Fuller's Division.
Who: Armory Guards
Website: http://www.armoryguards.org/66th_georgia_infantry.htm
POC: Herb Coats - Menion687@aol.com or Kiev Thomason
The Plan: "This event is being hosted by the Armory Guards and the Salt River Rifles. It will be held at the same location as past events and includes recreated earth works and gun emplacements along part of the original defenses of Atlanta. The Armory Guards will be portraying the Confederate forces representing Company A of the 66th Georgia Infantry with the Salt River Rifles portraying the Federals. Unlike years past, we will be able to be there all weekend. This is the only event that will commemorate the 145th Anniversary of the Battle of Atlanta on the anniversary weekend and on the original ground where the fighting occurred."
No, we won't be marching and burning, it will be infantry drill, artillery drill, and improving the works, but the East Atlanta society wants us to put on a jam up living history and we actually get a LOT of visitors that know their history. The East Atlanta folks are very good to us. Yup it is July in the ATL, be prepared to swear like the men of the AOT and Uncle Billy's Boys did in 1864.
We are looking at a max of 40 Cornfeds and around 20 Blue Boys.
As for you kit, think summer 1864 AOT and AOtT.
I'll say this. This is the only type of LH of its kind within the Atlanta city limits. Yes Virginia, there will be more info coming along soon.
