Denhamville, Georgia was burned down in November of 1864 by the NSSA's own, 149th New York during Sherman's Tour of Georgia. Denhamville had a Tannery and shoe factory that produced shoes, saddles, harnesses and even leather gear for the Confederate armies. The factory complex employed 200 workers who were mostly German immigrants. The workers and their families lived in the town.
Last weekend we (the 24th Georgia) hosted a Skirmish at Denhamville. Note that we always host a BB Gun Match for the kids (future Skirmishers!) Here is the link to the pictures of that Skirmish on another BB.
By the way-WE DON'T GIVE MEDALS to match winners, but Secession Badges: Blue or Gold Secession Badges for 1st Place, Red Secession Badges for 2nd Place and White Secession Badges for 3rd Place-everyone seems to like them, including the Yankees that win them!!!
