To Mr. Steve Hesson
I am glad to see a good naval impresion(even if you are a federal)
You should really try to get a confederate seaman outfit going for i have never seen one.
My favorite "impression" is of a confederate reenactor out having fun with all his pards...

I have all the fabrics in hand, it's just finding the time to put it together. Since it apppears that the average CSN Sailor wore blue uniforms for most of the war, it would be just a matter of changing my accent.

It is my honor to represent troops from Illinois both Union and Confederate.
I second your comment. I admire the Western Theater Soldier and their resourcefulness. I do a 46th Illinois impression and a 15th Tennessee impression.

For years it was my Western Federal mid to late war Army of the Cumberland impression (Chickamauga through Atlanta Campaign, concentrating specifically on Chickamauga and Pickett's Mill). Towards teh end of things, I really started to love my early war Western Federal impression (Fort Denelson rocks!) I also enjoyed my lat war AoT impression, but I never built it up to the level I wanted.
This time around, who knows? I still have a deep affection for my Western Federal impressions, but I'm really looking forward to doing more AoT this time around.

For me, the most fascinating period in the war (at this point, at any rate) - '61 through Gettysburg.
My group also does a fairly generic Federal militia impression and my next (hopeful) project is to capture the unique qualities of the 5th New Hampshire, right after they left the state through the Peninsula Campaign.
