    Fight For Crampton's Gap Updates

    Hello All, On Sunday Eric Isaacs, Dave Gerow, and myself worked at the Fight For Crampton's Gap event site constructing Beth Crabb's general store. Despite getting multiple vehicles stuck in the mud, good progress was made. The general store is framed and has a roof, all that is left is to side and put a door on it, and Beth's store is ready for business!!! Here are a few photo's showing the work progress, as well as a few pictures from a site ride done in March with the commanders. Huh,,,, what do ya know, infantry boys can stay in the saddle after all!!! :wink_smil




    The road running at the base of the hill. Crampton's Gap has a road named Mountain Church Road running along the base of the hill in the same fashion. This will be our Mountain Church Road.

    The general store, half completed, with Mountain Church Road running in front of it.

    Remember, registration ends July 1st. Right now we are sitting at 48 Federals. We still are in need of several more Confederate infantry as well!!! Don't miss the boat on this one boys!

      No Rod, those are faux skin leggings pulled up over his knees. He's working on a F/I War impression.

            Terry can still sit a horse pretty well.

              Terry is sitting that horse much better than the one I saw him sitting at Marmaduke's. Oh wait, he was sitting on the ground, not on the horse then.

                  One month from tomorrow we will be hitting the field to recreate the actions of September 14th, 1862 as the 4th NJ Infantry, 6th U.S. Cavalry, 12th Virginia Infantry, 2nd Virginia Cavalry, and the civilians living near Burkittsville. All groups besides Jason Reinholz's CS infantry company still have room for more!! There is still time, albiet a short amount of time, but there is still time to get on board!! Time to take the jump off that fence and get signed up!!

                    Would be a great time for some mainstreamers to test out this EBUFU side of things close to home.
