Welcome to the official web
site of 1st Legion Provisional Army Confederate States (
PACS ) , Inc. The 1st Legion is an American Civil War
reenacting organization based in the Mid-Atlantic Region of
the country. Elements of the 1st Legion attend most major
Civil War Reenactments in the region as well as many
national level reenactments. Our goal is to provide the
public with an accurate portrayal of the Confederate
soldiers and civilians that lived during the tragic period
in our history between 1861 and 1865.
Since our formation in the
spring of 1998, the Legion has grown into a true Legion with
several infantry regiments, an artillery battalion and a
cavalry regiment. Our total strength in 2006 was just under
2000 members and we look forward to adding more troops for
the 2007 season. We are a non-profit corporation which
donates on a regular basis to historic sites in an effort to
assist in preserving our heritage.
We are a family oriented
organization which encourages all members to participate in
this interesting and exciting return to our past. In
addition to reenactments our various companies participate
in living history programs and school presentations which
allow our civilian members to highlight their knowledge of
the period and what the day to day life of a civilian in war
time might be like.
