Featuring the .. "Battle for Allatoona, Georgia October 1864
Sponsored by Friends Winterset Reenactment Committee
Overall (US) & (CS) Commanders
will be announced, at a later date...!!!
Its all about the battles... nothing but armies fighting it out...!!!
The focus is bringing back the Winterset reenactment as it was back in the early 90's and again allowing the Midwest a major reenactment again in Winterset's earthworks and fortifications, which make all difference...!!!
We will be concentrating on the battles and skirmishes all weekend and not a lot of smaller things which distract from the war time focus we are trying to portray for the weekend. Expect a lot of battles and military operations for this first reenactment.
