In a spectacular 4-day event, Union soldiers will pursue Morgan's Raiders from Western Meigs County to Pomeroy, Ohio (60 miles), culminating in a reenactment of the Battle of Buffington Island in Portland. There will be a base camp in Pomeroy for the entire event, as well as a smaller camp across the river in Mason City. On Friday, there will be a skirmish and Civil War dance in Chester. On Saturday, troops will board sternwheelers, "manned" by the Union Navy, at the Pomeroy Levee and travel to Portland for n amphibious landing skirmish and then return to Pomeroy for an evening dance and many other events. Finally, on Sunday, the entire army will once again board the boats and travel to Portland for the Battle of Buffington Island. If you want to actually participate in the reenactment, contact Darrell Markijohn for Infantry, Mike Church for Cavalry, or Larry Golding for Navy. All three's emails and phone numbers are in the link. Also being represented are Artillery and Sharpshooters, for which you could contact Mr. Markijohn as well.
