Recruits Wanted

Rally 'round the Flag, Boys! Recruits Wanted to fill up the GOOD OLD 21st Regiment! "The man who enlists in the good old 21st gets in with as brave, good, whole-souled men as ever shouldered a musket in defence of Liberty; and in a regiment whose reputation for bravery and efficiency is second to none" *Text taken from an original recruiting poster dated 4 December 1863.

A potential recruit drills.

Reenacting involves two basic types of activities.  These are living history programs and battle reenactments. Living history programs can vary.  In general, the unit will set up a typical Union camp for the western theater for public viewing.  The men will demonstrate the equipment, interact with the general public, and perform period military maneuvers such as marching, musket firing, battle tactics, bayonet drills, and other activities for the spectators. Battle reenactments are different.  These involve hundreds or even thousands of other reenactors.  A full scale Civil War battle will be conducted complete with infantry, artillery, and cavalry participants.
