SCAR Company "B" Palmetto Sharpshooters (40 Rounds Events 2017): "Calhoun Mountaineers"

[Johnny Lloyd]

Gentlemen:

First up, I would like to thank Mr. Patrick Ferringer for the opportunity to lead South Carolina troops at this 40 Rounds event for 2017. As you might know, I am a South Carolinian and proud of my home state. I will be the captain of Company E , Color Company of the Palmetto Sharpshooters. My initial introduction to the reenacting hobby was in South Carolina, so the accurate portrayal of this unit is especially of utmost importance and respect to me, as I know it is to all of you.

This thread will be the home for all updates to this company effort. The same information will be disseminated on Facebook at:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1047186655367949/

My FB profile name is "Jay Lowe": https://www.facebook.com/johnny343sc. Friend me on there, if you haven't done so and are interested in this effort.

Rank structure and coordinating instructions are to follow. Please standby for more information.

"Dum spiro spero" South Carolina's Motto: "While I breathe, I hope."

"WHO ARE WE: SOUTH CAROLINA!"



I remain:

Jno. Lloyd
Captain, Company E

Re: SCAR Company- Company "B" Palmetto Sharpshooters (40 Rounds Events 2017)

Due to newly found research from higher... We are now known as "Company B", as this was the color company of the Palmetto Sharpshooters.

Carry on. ;)

The Palmetto Sharp Shooters and Wauhatchie 28 Sep- 9 Oct 1863:

"Wauhatchie (Lookout Valley, Brown's Ferry), 28-9 October. The Brigade, now part of J. B. Hood's Division, temporarily commanded by Jenkins, is ordered to attack the enemy camped about three miles from Brown's Ferry in the Lookout Valley. Just after nightfall on the 28 October three Brigades of the Division, including Jenkins, under John C. Bratton, moved from there positions across Lookout Mountain down a narrow path to Lookout Valley.
A blocking force is put in place further up the valley. At around 2240 a patrol from the 141st New York run into a skirmish line of the 48th Alabama, part of the blocking force. This alerts John White Geary, commander of 2nd Division, XII Corps, the target, who guards the intersection of the Brown's Ferry and Kelley's Ferry roads, and a wagon park, with approximately 1,500 troops.
Bratton's Brigade, the attack force, marched down the valley crossing Lookout Creek about midnight and moved down the Wauhatchie/Brown's Ferry Road. The skirmish line is close to the main battle line as they advance towards Wauhatchie Station with the Palmetto's on the extreme left of the battle line and to the left of the road.
With his skirmishers driven in the main battle lines were in contact about 0040, with the Palmetto's engaging the 149th New York. The Palmetto's fiercely attack and 'forcing us back to a point that we were assailed on three sides.'
The camp, wagon park and the mules were captured. At about 0200 the Brigade thought they had Geary's troops close to breaking point and were about to launch what they believed would be the final assault when they were informed that Joseph Hooker leading a relieving force of XI Corps troops, estimated at 13,000, were advancing to threaten their rear, due to the supporting blocking force having failed to stop them.
At Brown's Ferry Joseph Hooker, commander of the XI and XII Corps, heard the sounds of battle had dispatched two divisions. As the Federal reinforcements began arriving at Wauhatchie, Jenkins realized that the attempt to capture Wauhatchie was failing and Jenkin's reluctantly called of the attack, destroyed as many wagons as possible, drove off the mules, and was forced to make a fighting withdrawal back to their own lines. They crossed the bridge over Lookout Creek and here formed line of battle to cover the retreat and passage of Benning's Brigade (part of the blocking force), and were the last to recross the creek. Then retired back to camp which was reached a little after sunrise. Jenkins claimed that but 'for a few (more) minutes (we) would have had the whole Yankee force and their guns captured.'
Bratton claimed the Brigade suffered 356 casualties, with 51 of these killed, of the 1,800 engaged. (These figures are disputed as Geary was to claim that they found 153 killed. Another source from within the 5th SC claims only about 1,000 in the attack and casualties of about half. that number.) The Palmetto's receive 44."

Gents of Company B:

A note of clarification regarding alcohol at the event in our company… I want to reinforce Orderly Lee’s comments.

I LOVE a good drink at some kinds of events… most all of you know me. I like to have fun as much as the next guy, but this is a 40 Rounds Event. For those of you new to this event concept, it means this:

THIS EVENT IS A FULL-IMMERSION, 24-HR EVENT. THIS --WILL NOT-- BE SOME CIVIL WAR CLOWN-FEST YOU CAN PARTY AT, LIKE MANY MAINSTREAM/MID-STREAM EVENTS ARE. That is not the intent of this kind of event.

What does that mean for you, the attendee?

This means BRING YOUR A-GAME to this event! You will be engaged with plenty of stuff to do most times of the day. This will be a WORKING, DYNAMIC event. There will be guard/fatigue/cooking/fighting/marching/drilling (aka REAL SOLDIER STUFF) to be done. Push yourself and your limits!

All this above requires you to be at your tip-top shape and awareness, to function effectively, for this event. Alcohol, while fun and certainly period in some instances, FOR THIS COMPANY is HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. (Truth be told, historically, alcohol quite often was discouraged by leadership also in order to prevent infighting and unsoldierly behaviour. Sometimes we have too much alcohol at modern events, I think.)

You came for a full-authentic period military immersion experience, and you will get that, so act like that is what you came for. The more you do take this seriously as a duty, the more fun it will be and you might learn something new.

Look, you can’t fight and function if you are a sloppy mess. If you are a sloppy mess, you are an unnecessary burden to others. That is unjust to others doing the right thing at an immersion event.

THINK: You will be sleeping on-arms and doing heavy exercise. You will be expending LOTS of perspiration while doing this and alcohol dehydrates the body and reduces your effectiveness to fight by giving you foggy head. If we have to move quickly, you need to be ready to do so at a moment’s notice.

Trust me, THIS IS THE --ONE EVENT-- YOU WILL NOT WANT TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO FUCTION CLEARLY. NO ONE will babysit you here at this event. If you are drunk or disorderly, we are leaving you in the dust. Tough crap… you brought it on yourself, in that case. Take personal responsibility for yourself and help your fellow Company B comrades.

I will not bring my own alcohol to the event even for my use during the event, in order to set the example. I expect Company leadership to do the same.

For this great of a time, you won’t need alcohol (you might need lots of coffee, though).

Caveat to the above:
-If alcohol is presented to you at the event in a scripted scenario, feel free to partake.

Any questions to the above, please ask.

I remain:
