The Shenandoah
Alliance is pleased to invite you all to the 145th Battle of
Chancellorsville which will be held on August 29th through
the 31st. With the great success of 145th Antietam event
held in September of 2007, we had so many requests to put on
another national event on the same site on Loudoun Heights
on Bill Raymond's property.
This event
will be of the same format that being a non-spectator, 2000
re-enactor limit.
All re-enactors and umbrella groups are welcome to attend.
Bill Raymond will be building a plank road reproduction on
the property to enhance the event.
This property
is a re-enactors dream with period buildings, rail fences,
stone walls, breastworks, and of course the road just built
for the Antietam event. We used the road in two of the
scenarios at that event, once as the sunken road and once as
the Hagerstown Pike in the other. The possibilities are
endless for scenarios on this site due to terrain and other
features. As many of you have heard the site is absolutely
beautiful and just perfect for a Civil War re-enactment.
In the coming
months we will be putting together some really great battle
scenarios from the Chancellorsville battle that we are sure
will please all that attend. We are planning many civilian
activities as well so the whole family can come and enjoy
themselves. We have invited the 20 sutlers that attended
this year back for next year's event. The Shenandoah
Alliance commanders
General Greg Bair
of
PACS
and
General Ed Kelley
of
Birneys Division.
will command the event. The bottom line is you can't miss
this one! We promise a spectacular event. Updates will be
coming soon as plans develop bookmark this page and check
back often.
