Web Site Awards - First New Jersey Light Artillery

www.1NJLA.com - Artillery: The King of Battle

11/17/2000

A superb sampling of the art of artillery! A well blended concoction of the historical past smoothly blended with present day recreation of the art of Civil War artillery firing.

The 1st New Jersey Light Artillery, and its web master, Mike Kendra skillfully ties the past and present into a treat for the American Civil War connoisseur to partake. Mike and his friends have told the story, colorful history and glory that was this federal artillery unit -- while allowing the present day reader to understand the intricate workings of what makes a well rehearsed military unit come together.

The results are good reading, excellent photos, suburb historical documents, and images along with the wealth of the history compiled by this unit...having fought in a vast number of major military campaigns in the eastern theater of operations.

We, at the American Civil War Excellence Award AND the American Civil War Living Heritage Award are proud to bestow our small tokens of appreciation upon the 1st New Jersey Light Artillery for a job most well done. We offer to Mike Kendra and the rest of the boys of the 1st New Jersey Light Artillery, a tip of our kepi and and a rousing three cheers. We thank you boys.

Thank you for a very rewarding experience.

We remain most sincerely yours,

...In viewing your page I was impressed all the information you have besides being a reenactor. The 1st New Jersey was in a lot of hot spots during the Civil War. Your presentation in giving us valuable information about the Regiment has truly made its history for all to see. I would like to give you my award for such great content...

Keep up the great work. You have a love for the Civil War and it shows.

Mike,

Great web site!! One of the best I have seen yet! You have done a great job telling about the history of the 1st NJ Light Artillery, and I really enjoyed looking through the school of artillery. By the way, I scored a 78% on your quiz! Not bad for an infantryman, let alone a drummer!! Well, keep up the great work!
