Company G, 6th Mississippi "Rockport Steel Blades"

[ohpkirk]

If you are from the Trans-Miss or share our mindset, I'm raising a company for the 150th Shiloh. The bulk of Company G will be made up of the Texas Ground Hornets. Those who have attended events with us in the past know that we represent all facets of the soldier's life and not just the battles.

All are welcome, as long as you are able to maintain the level of authenticity that we are accustomed to. If you'd like to join us in representing these Mississippians, shoot me an email: cody.mobley@thc.state.tx.us

Re: Company G, 6th Mississippi "Rockport Steel Blades"

Seem that the "Bloody 6th" weren't so bloody in Co. G, with only one casualty in the whole company.

Re: Company G, 6th Mississippi "Rockport Steel Blades"

If anyone in the company is going to need rounds let me. I wanted to offer it to the company first. Also, I am reproducing some Mississippi and Tennessee scripts as well.

Thanks,

Can you make up some 20 gauge buck and ball cartridges?
