    Vicksburg National Military Park Sesquicentennial Remembrance Living History

    We are planning our Remembrance Activities for the 150s here at Vicksburg NMP. We are going to have a Living History event Memorial Day Weekend of 2013 along with other activities. Details are currently being discussed, however we wanted to see what interest there was in the Living History Community. We look forward to having some of you here.

    Those interested please respond to this thread or send me a pm.

    Jake,
    I'm going to call and talk with Tim about doing something similar to Life on the Line.

        I'd be interested. You can count on two, and I can likely muster 5 or so.

          Hmmm, Son No. 1 will be in college in the wilderness of Colorado Territory, so I will have less responsibilities at that time and mayhaps I could get an extra long Memorial Day weekend and come join the fun in Mississippi. I also have a comrade from the old Army of the Pacific days (think Raymond and Corinth) who now lives in Louisiana that I might be able to coax into action in '13.
          Yes, please keep the stream of info flowing. If I'm available, I'll be there.
          A full tigerrrr for beginning this project two years out. Will rats be on the bill of fare for this 'un?

              Sounds interesting - Think we can get some guys out there. We did some living histories out there back in the early 80's - Still remember pea bread... Nasty stuff....

                  Memorial Day 2013 would fit perfectly for my annual sojourn from Hawaii to back home (Shiloh next spring will be the interim). I would be very interested in participating in the LH at Vicksburg. Thank you for your consideration.

                      Re: Vicksburg National Military Park Sesquicentennial Remembrance Living History

                      I'm going to contact who I've normally worked with at the park and see what we can't work out in the same tone of what we did there at Life on the Line, but not on Memorial Day weekend. I've been putting together programs on the park since 06, and I would hate to miss out on the 150th. What we had talked about last February was multiple stops, with two sides, and all branches being represented. We'll see if that works out with what they have a budget for or not, but check back at the EBUFU folder in the next couple of days.

                          I'm not saying yes or no to anything right now because I don't have dates to go with or the official word from the park. Right now the main federal push would be a Iowa troop headed up by Holler, since this was an idea he and I have talked about for years.

                              Well I missed out on getting to try the rat last time, so if that is back on the menu I will have to mark this event on my things to do! Or maybe we can try camel???
