Default Hello to all

My name is Kevin and just recently joined your forum. I look forward to reading and learning from the vast knowledge of the membership of this forum. I have a tendancy to listen more than particapate,although,from time to time I may chime in on the discussion.I am not an historian,but a history enthusiast. I am a shooter of period weapons and enjoy this hobby almost every weekend. Not an expert in this field either,I just enjoy it thoroughly.Would be interested in any information offered on the 7TH Virginia,Company E(Hazelwood Volunteers(Rangers?) of Culpepper,Virginia. This is where Wagonrider came from.

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like the Texans and Virginians might be about even now.

Hello, Wagonrider, and welcome to CivilWarTalk.

I visited Winchester a few years back. Great place to live if you're a history enthusiast.
