Johann,
I remember at Clairmont, 2006, your wife offering some of our boys her tastey offerings. As I recall, one of our boys offered her some Confed. money.....Can't say I remember whether she took it or not, but I sure thought the soldier should have at least given her real money for her troubles! I do rember, though, her food was awful good!.....Hope to see y'all there this year (without the rain, of course!)
Albert Sailhorst, Scott's Battery
Albert... I didn't recall that at Cleremont. I was thinking of another event though I can't recall which one now. Unfortunately, there won't be another Thunder in the Hills this year. Variety of reasons to include some pretty poor reenactor actions last year as well as the weather.
Court poured his heart and soul into that event and not only got burned some financially but I think seriously insulted by some. He's done w/ re-enacting altogether now and like me has settled pretty much purely on Living History. Hell of a good man who puts his money where his mouth is w/ a clear courage of his convictions.
I applaud you boys from Scott's battery in particular as IMO you were among the most authentic looking and acting unit there. Ironically I've had conversations w/ the judges on the authenticity award given every year. You boys won it, not anyone else, the years the CS won it. Ironically my Minnesota boys took it home for the Union boys when they won. I can be justifiably proud of the boys in my mess for their presentation and will continue to use Scott's Battery as the bar which all other CS arty units must be measured against.
Young Reb Til Death, listen to what this man says about re-enacting a soldier of the CS Army. He's been taught by some of the best IMO. If you do nothing more on this site than look up the words of Albert or Steve Cone you'll have learned something useful.
