Thank You so much Frederick, your post and the history within are for me so much useful but also put me in the atmosphere. The fact of your ancestor its amazing for me and is a beautiful link to the period and to the 1st Ark

Thank You also for the indication of the timeline, i dont mind it
So i suppose and feel in my heart to reenact the starting experience of the regiment (that like us start this experience) and so its possible that the correct reenacted starting period is early 1861
If i use columbus depot style uniform its not good? Maybe better richmond's style also if richmond is not completely started?
Another point is the headgear, kepi - forage cap or simply nlack round felt hat?
Can you help me?

I'm very glad to meet you also only in "write"
Only one music in my head "hurrah hurrrah for southern rights hurrah, hurrah for the bonnie blue flag that bears the single star"
