"The sheen of a bright moon revealed the sad carnage of the day, and the horrors of war became vividly distinct."

Col. David Urquhart, CSA (after the first day of battle at Stones River, Tennessee)

Hello pard! C'mon over and sit by the fire. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you enjoy your stay at our virtual camp. I'm working to get our camp up and going, and I think I have a pretty good start. This camp will be updated regularly because events change, campaigns come and go, items will be added, deleted, or modified, and reports from the NCO's will be coming in regularly (I hope). If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to drop me some mail and don't forget to sign the guestbook at the bottom of this page.

Reenacting units, like people, go through growing pains. The members of our company have decided to change the unit designation from the 2nd Missouri to the 1st Missouri. If you know of any links that still say "2nd Missouri, please let some one know, so they can be updated.

I tried to make this site easy to navigate through. To move from page to page, use the "Forward March" or "Retreat" commands at the bottom of each page. Click the "Back to Camp" command to return to this page. If you are interested in joining the 1st Missouri, go to the recruitment office and sign up, or just email me. General Price needs some hard fighting men to support the cause and kick those Yankees out of Missouri! See you on the battlefield!

*Please Note: I am unable to do research for you. Although I love to learn about the war, and my own ancestors, time and resources do not allow me the luxury to research for everyone. Thank you.

I remain your obedient servant,

Sgt. Brian L. Watts
