Our splendid regiment is almost destroyed. We have had nearly 400 men killed and wounded in the battles. Seven of our officers were shot and three killed in yesterday's battle and nearly 150 men killed and wounded. All from less than 300 engaged. The men have stood like iron....Maj. Rufus Dawes, 6th Wisconsin Volunteers
Welcome to our board. I do hope you will enjoy your time spent here and please grace us with you views on our numerous topics.

Most definitely legit and simply crawling with people who take the WBTS seriously. Which is not to say we don't misbehave occasionally, but we try really, really hard to play nice.
