Our goal is to recreate one company (30-35 men) of the 40th Indiana Company H at or around the time of their assault on Cheatham’s Hill June 27, 1864. We will to the best of our ability to portray the men in dress, appearance and attitude.
We will: Have programs for the public (company drill, school of the soldier, skirmish drill, firings, camp life, and anything else we think of)
We will also have some surprises for the men, but we will keep that a secret until the time comes.
We will go live at 10:00 PM Friday night, and end by 12:00 Sunday morning.
Holler will work on a tour from Park Historian Willie Johnson. At our living history in 2009 Willie gave us a 2 ˝ hour tour of the sites around Kennesaw.
