Olustee 2017 what is it?

Are you asking what it is? It's a civil war reenactment in Florida and it's pretty big for this far down south, it's a good event on an actual battle field

Now I know. And I envy those who will be there.

The battle of Olustee was the biggest battle fought in the state of Florida during the Civil War.I have been to the site many times as I live about 1 hour from the battlefield.

It's a good one, last year they had groundcharges exploding and there's usually a good cavalry skirmish going on and a good number of infantry

 

[Pavel]

Sorry I can not be there

 

[jekct1212]

Sorry I can not be there

From your picture it looks like you do napoleonic reenactments? That's something I wish I could start doing!

 

[Pavel]

Well join us.

 

[jekct1212]

If you ever come over here you should come to it, you could join in with my company if you wanted to participate

 

[Pavel]

What's your regiment?

The only problem for me is to get the form. In Russia it is expensive. Cause it we do not.

A friend of mine attends with his unit. Union side. Not sure which one. I went once in 2004 I think. I might day trip, just have to go as I am because I don't have the time to make a new wardrobe. Most of mine was eaten by rats (Long story).
