  • Morning Sun

    When: September 9-11, 2016

    Where: Davies Manor Plantation, near Memphis, TN

    Who: Hosted by the 4th Tennessee
    U.S. forces will be commanded by Jonathan Siltman, and will portray the 57th OVI
    C.S. forces will be commanded by Larry McCluney, unit TBD

    Registration is $30, which includes house tour and food. Any remaining funds will be donated to Davies Manor Plantation.

    Full details, impression guidelines, and registration information can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/308855319167707/
    I will also be posting them here soon.

    This event will highlight the Battle of Morning Sun, which occurred near present-day Lakeland, TN on the outskirts of Memphis. This is a spectator event, but participants are expected to remain in character at all times. A select few individuals will act as “interpreters” between the reenactors and spectators.

    The property has a small number of structures, which will be taken over by civilians and turned into the town of Morning Sun. Military participants will have designated camping areas, and will be campaigning. Fires are limited to one in the civilian town, and one in each military camp.

    If you have any questions, please contact me at confederate314@yahoo.com, or 731-415-6563.

        There are a few civilian spots open. A shopkeeper is especially needed, as well as a family of civilian group to inhabit one of the cabins. I'm open to any other impressions you may have.
