    Winter 63- Vicksburg February 5, 6 and 7

    In what has become tradition for the southern portion of the Independent Rifles- We are hosting a WINTER living history at Vicksburg on the first weekend in February. This is a Confederate and Civilian Living History of the actions that took place around the city the winter of 1863. This time period saw the failures of Sherman's assaults near the garrison, and Grant's failure to approach the city overland. Guidelines and additional information to follow.

    For Military information please contact me either through these forums or at westernpicket63@yahoo.com Citizen information to follow.

      I'm interested, haven't done a Vicksburg LH where I didn't roast. Is this going to be at Fort Garrott?

        As far as weather, think Grenada.

                Pat, I can't respond like I really want to, I'll send that to you in a P.M. However if it doesn't hair lip the Pope we'll be there, AS WE"VE DONE IN THE PAST ! I hope that our lowly presence won't keep worthy most blessed ones from coming now.

                    Mr. Landrum,

                    If Cpt Dennis says we are coming and it has been voted on that we are coming, then we are coming. Count Wesley, with rifle now in that number.

                    Pat, do you want me to lead the 22 mile march in from Edwards to Vicksburg for the event?

                    Dennis, watch what you say about the Pope.

                      Pat, I've attended in the past when we camped at the Texas monument. It is a great park and great weather. I hope I can attend!

                      Thanks,

                        Hopefully none of Dennis' gear will go up in flames this year!

                              Is that anything like "possibly absolutely"?

                              Sir, you have raised "Hey Man, I'm Coming" to a new level of ambiguity.
