Just a heads up that Dan McGraw and myself are collecting research on the 21st Wisconsin at Perryville. If you have any, please let he or I know.

Thanks to research we have a very unique and immersive schedule.

Steve and Dan,
"Memoirs of a Dutch Mudsill" would be good place to start. It's the war memoirs of John Otto of Company D, 21st Wisconsin and of course covers the Perryville campaign in detail.

Thanks Tim, We've perused that.I also went to Madison where they have folders of 21st material so I have a few from there, but more is always better.

A piece of 21st history that might interest the folks on this forum:

Nope, all the cool research, research that will make for a unique and amazing event can only be experienced on the Perryville battlefield. See ya in October.

On a side note, with the freedom the park has given us, I honestly believe this event can surpase Antietam and Stone's River for living histories.

Steve,
I was wondering when the uniform and equipment guidelines will be posted. I'm really looking forward to this event. Perryville has always been one of my favorite places.
Thanks,
Kyle

Hey Kyle,

We'll be meeting this month for that very thing, and other event related stuff. We hope to get the information out by March.

It'll be good to see you again,
Steve Acker

Hi Steve,

This is very exciting and as an event I am really looking forward to. If you were at either of the above events Steve listed and hosted, I am sure you know the quality of these past events. Perryville is looking to be a great experience for us - can not wait!

I am looking forward to this living history. Have been to the site before as a visitor but didn't really get to see much.

Best part is that the Hawkeyes don't have a game that weekend. No stress weekend!

You set up online registration by saying, "Dave? Can we have some sort of online registration on the site?" And, then, it happens!

Dave,

Can we have some sort of online registration for Wilson's?

Holler

Perryville registration is nearing a dozen already. Great to see.

Joni House will be our event coordinator at Perryville. Please take a look at her post on the AC Civilian Forum......On the Farm - Perryville.....June 2010. It should give everyone a sense of her commitment to authenticity. Also, there will be 60,000 visitors in Kentucky during October for an international horse expo. Some of these folks could visit Perryville during our event. The Bluegrass state is a beautiful place.
Regards,
Dan
