Welcome!
Hello and welcome from 35 miles north of Gettysburg! Are you planning to join us for the CWT Invasion of Gettysburg in September? Here's a link: http://civilwartalk.com/threads/let...kend-of-sept-16th-thru-sept-18th-2016.119808/
hello everyone! figured id introduce myself!
i am Thomas Grott of Kinderhook NY, life long civil war nerd and finally looking to get started in the hobby/lifestyle of living history. I'm trying to gather whatever gear and clothing i can at this point so if anyone in the greater NY area or surroundings can help it would be greatly appreciated. ! always looking for fellow civil war buffs to discuss history with! just made my 5th trip of 2016 to Gettysburg for the anniversary and managed to find myself a girl that will be road tripping with me in Sept down the blue ridge to asheville NC, stopping at any and every battlefield and point of interest in between and ending at Antietam on the anniversary! i have also been cataloging civil war soldiers graves in the upstate area so if anyone local wanted to meet up I'm usually at Albany rural cemetery twice a week.
looking forward to a new chapter!

good times up that way! used to do a lot kayaking trips up there in my teens, nothing like watching those 105 howitzers do night shooting! thats a hell of a unit! thank you for your service! sorry about the cold weather haha, if helps ease the pain we have had terrible ski seasons for the last two years in a row. very sad for a native new yorkerWelcome, Thomas, to our forum. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.
I did some 'time' in upstate New York with the US Army at Ft. Drum, just north of Watertown. Served with the 10th Mountain Division, Light Infantry, from 1988 to 1991. Coldest weather I have ever known in my military service.
Again, welcome.
Sincerely,
