Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

If the kid is born on time I look forward to making it, but the joke has been made that we'll likely have a "Perryville Baby", but I'm hopeful to be able to make this effort.

2016 Patrick. Not 2015.

Unless you are going for a double header, I think this information matters. If you are, well, Bless Her Heart. ;) That's Hardcore.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Is there any idea of who company commander will be yet within the battalions? Just trying to get a feel for who I can fall in with.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Marty the Taters will most likely go with whatever company Holmes Brigade goes with if you want to come with us.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Marty, I cannot speak for Will's battalion, but within the 123rd our company commanders are as follows

Company B. Steve Ewing
Company C. Walter Cook/SCAR
Company E. Ivan Ingram/ Hairy Nation Boys
Company F. Todd Morris
Company TBD. John Wickett and Justin Runyon

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Below is the other battalion, 105th Ohio, for what I know so far. TBD is in discussion. Hopefully the full company grouping is finalized soon. Over a year to plan still and everyone is far ahead of the normal. Pretty exciting!

Holmes Brigade - Racine POC
24th Missouri - Kinzer POC
Western Rifles/Mich - Roscoe/Cummings POCs
Wisconsin/ONV - Gerow/Klas POC's
TBD

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Myself and Mike Phineas will also serve as POC's of Kinzer's company. A little more in the tech loop.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

Thanks for the updates Joe! Website looks great. The 105th Ohio battalion will have many of the same players from the 150th Gettysburg 24th Michigan battalion as well as the brigade as a whole. We have 5 great companies getting firmed up right now to pick from. Each time I have a conversation about this event I get excited. I can't wait for all the history and experience on this ground with many old and new pards.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

I have done several Perryville events in the past. My last one was 2001. My last event was 2006 at Corinth. I now have all my gear again and it is all campaigner quality...I really want to do this event, but I am unsure of who to register with. I am a former Mudsill from the 1980's up through to the end of that organization. If anyone is interested in picking up a recruit for this event, please advise.

Re: Federal Brigade at Perryville 2016

That sounds great. I will try to register with Co. C then.

Ted, as far as Mudsill's go, we have Ken Meek and Cal Kinzer in the 24th. You will have a Bully time with Mr. Underwood!

Wow, wish I'd seen this earlier! Ted our former captain Cal Kinzer was indeed an original Mudsill, and in fact we had Bill Brewster, Chris Graham, and Ken Smith in our ranks earlier this year at Bentonville. That was truly a unique experience talking to Chris about suspenders! But I digress.

Tyler's battalion will have a bully time, and those boys are first rate. Oh, if you were at Perryville in '01 you remember the Friday night monsoon of biblical proportions. Let's hope we get a dry weekend next year!
