I have experience in acting, I'm from Mississippi and can do a proper Rebel Yell. I'd be glad to record some stuff. I have a nice mic

Interestingly enough there was also a company of Kentuckians that served with the 3rd Arkansas. When the 3rd was moving east they landed in Nashville and ran into a company of Kentuckians who wanted...
One of my favorite stories of the war comes from the 3rd Arkansas at Antietam/Sharpsburg. The 3rd Arkansas and 27th North Carolina had been detached to defend a battery and were formed in a pseudo...
Pshhh Texans are the most overrated creatures on earth.
Mississippians were the best soldiers of the war/
Yeah, Sup?

Unfortunately it's in pretty bad shape and falling apart on me. I have one on the University Greys as well that is in better shape.
Something cool that I have is a history of the unit that was written by a veterans and was distributed to the people that attended one of their reunions in the early 1900's. I can't remember the...
Adolphus really knows what he's talking about when it comes to Confederate uniforms, especially with the armies of the west and the Trans-Miss. Many Confederates wore sack coats throughout the war in...
I've tried my hardest to find Federal ancestors but all of mine fought for the Confederacy.

Northwest Mississippi (Not far from Memphis)
But I'm living around Little Rock Arkansas for the moment.
I'm in. If there's enough interest in the 11th Mississippi I wouldn't mind trying to start a University Grays unit (Co. A). Lafayette County would be well represented.

I mean listen to this and imagine the sound of it hitting men.
11th Mississippi at Sharpsburg. Co. A the University Greys were made up entirely of Ole Miss students. They would go on to take 100% casualties in the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble charge on July 3rd at...
Yeah he's not the best Bones player but I've met the banjo player and he's top rail. I thought it was a cool video but I did break into some whiskey earlier.
Here is the NPS (National Park Service) film for free on Youtube. It's pretty well done and was the start for the guys who made Civil War: The Untold Story. There are a few reenactors who are too...
And here's me trying to make sure the 3rd Arkansas is in the game.

Here's some proper Civil War music.

Also here's the NPS documentary on Antietam. It is by far the best because of the quality of the reenactors, all authentics.

Just saying that it wasn't just Mannassas where confusion reigned control over the battlefield. There were also cases of Federal friendly fire.
Even up to Shiloh the uniform color situation wasn't so... uniformed. For instance the 9th Illinois wasn't sent in until their gray uniforms were replaced that morning. A lot of men went in with...
I'm gonna hold my breath until the 11th Mississippi and 3rd Arkansas are added. My life is in your hands developers.
In theory that would be a cool idea, and very historically correct. Those guys botched their reloads all the time, especially early in the war. But I don't think many would go for it.
