Notes: This event portrays the skirmish that took place in and around Unison, VA in November, 1862 as part of the Fredericksburg campaign. The event is a mobile event that begins in the small village of Philomont and will conclude at historic Goose Creek Bridge in Middleburg, VA. The march route is approximately 12 miles, with only a quarter mile of the route being paved. Skirmishing will take place in the exact locations where the historic battle took place, and the entire event takes place on the original, and largely pristine ground.
The event will be physically demanding due to the distance being covered and the rolling nature of the terrain. Standards for the event will be high and will be enforced. First person will be strongly encouraged.
