Steven, thanks again for all these posts. The city of Clarksville is on the move again! Hope you enjoy your visit to Riggins. If you see any yankees, you know what to do.

That makes sense. An 'out of towner' would have gotten less priority in choosing roles and wound up as a yankee? Do you have additional uniforming to alter or replace the butternut?

Actuall its kinda the opposite.. The local units usualy galvanize while thoses that drive the distance where gray or they both galvaize wear gray one day blue the next. fell in with the local unit 50th Tennessee who also portray the the 50th Ill.

I have both uniform and usualy carry both just incase if we have to galvanize. usualy we know a head of time.

regards, Steven
