Great presentation, enjoyed - thank you...

where you attt

How can I get in contact with you so I can plan to come all right have a bunch of cool stuff that I can wear from Civil War or the Indian war of 1997 on my description for my KZbin page. There should be some contact information for me if you could reach out that would be amazing. I would love to join.

I just started reenacting and my experience with joining my own unit (69th PA Irish Volunteers) was so different! I saw a news story about reenactors being needed and decided to look around on the internet. Took two days pouring myself over various websites that hasn't been updated in years, eventually finding the 69th with the captain's phone number. Gave him a call for gits and shiggles and he picks up, we end up talking for 20+ minutes arranging when we can meet for loaner gear. The next weekend I'm down at his place getting set up. 90% of the time we were just talking so we could feel each other out and see how I would fit with the unit as a whole. Following week is SOTS for the unit and the rest is history, started collecting my own gear for my impression and even that is a blast for me.

I've finally taken more interest in the Cavalry after learning that my homestate Florida had a Union Cavalry regiment. Apparently every state in the south had Union volunteers, minus South Carolina.

Looks to be more mainstream kit but still some good general information.

Been one for over 40 years, it was an educational journey . Doing GAR now . Was a lot of work and money. To achieve the correct impression.

Hey brotha, im another reenactor, your kit is atm very farby and can greatly improve, I'll gladly help you if you reply to this comment

lets face it toxic people have ruined this hobby

Just to point out, in early war the shell jacket may have been issued as a standard, but by mid war and on you will see the typical fatigue/sack coat being issued wide spread

My Ancestry is of Italian and Portuguese Immigrants who came to the U.S. around the turn of the Century. I too have a love of History and I have alway’s been fascinated with all kinds of History and militaries. I really appreciate all that re enactors do to provide a rewarding living history experience. A very good presentation. I am alway’s impressed with the comments in which other’s proudly remember their relatives service and lives . I want to know about all sides of a issue. I find it very sad that there are those wish to eliminate from History the Memory of people and monuments to them who played so much a part in the evolution of who We are Today. If We have a child that does not conform to our ways or live up to Our expectations we do not erase them from our Memories and remove their pictures from our Album’s. Their contribution’s to Our lives are alway’s significant and Remind us of Our own imperfection’s. Much like the Bible Story of Hosea and Gomer.

My 3rd great grandfather William Wilshire Hamblen served in Co. F of the 2nd NC Mounted Infantry. He was from Transylvania Co NC and died at the age of 101 in 1934.

A very awsome video! My Great Great Great Grandfather Samuel John Jackson Kent (1836-1919) was a Captain in the 2nd. North Carolina mounted infantry. As a native of western North Carolina myself Im very proud of him.

Really interesting! How much horse tack did the men carry? I know some things could vary a lot (e.g. fodder). Anyways, just curious

Nice video, but I wish you would have researched a bit more used the correct terminology. And you got a few things wrong. The Haversack was for food. The saddles, though small held some of that other stuff, but most was rolled in the blanket. The "hat" was a kepi, a forage cap, or or even the hardee... but it wasn't called a hat. Spare cylinders is more Hollywood than reality. The cap box held percussion caps and the then the cartridge box should have ready made paper cartridges (that you tore or bit the end off, poured the powder, then packed the wad and ball, over simplified but basically)... Jackboots are a more a term used to identify WWII NAZI Germany than Cavalry soldiers...

My great great Grandfather David Franklin Bradburn fought in this unit.

Do you know if the 2nd mounted infantry had a flag or regimental colors?

👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝

So you need to buy the unifform or the regiment gives you all the neccesary?

No saddle/tack?

Do you play War of Rights on Steam?

The haversack was *primarily* for food, not socks, etc. Extra clothing was carried in the blanket roll, not the haversack. Vests were a private purchase item and were not prescribed by the Uniform regs. There are no sources (written or photographic) showing a cartridge pouch worn on the carbine sling. There were no pouches for spare cylinders, and, in fact, no evidence for carrying spare cylinders--that is a pure reenactorism. When they wanted more rounds, they carried a spare revolver or more than one (some of Moseby's men carried up to six). The Remington was not called a "model 1858." That date refers to the pattern of the Biels loading lever used on the Remington New Model Army, but the Remington New Model Army was designed between 1861 and 1864.

Nice job! I was involved in CW reenacting many years ago. I did an infantry impression, although I would have loved to had a chance to do cavalry. I had an ancestor in the 8th PA Cavalry. Keep up the good work!

My 3x great grandfather served in co f 3rd nc mounted infantry. He’s buried in poplar nc

Your story is almost the same as mine. As a kid I was fascinated with history. I was drawn to the American Civil war and got the courage to actually ask questions and found a unit in my area. I reenacted for about three years with a Union regiment. I am a lot older now but I'm going to throw the hat in the ring and do at least one more major reenactment. Godspeed

Political pressure is trying to disrupt the reenactment , Don’t give them the satisfaction! Reenact on!

Cw, ww2, Vietnam, Is just a few of my impressions

Hope to see you on the field of battle someday.

There’s a lot of reenactors in France as well. I made a Wambaugh a jacket and ended up selling to a fella in France. Lol

Although the 2nd NC were called Mounted Infantry the most Horses the unit had at any time were 30 Horses. According to the transcripts they eventually had to give these up to the full Union Calvary regiment in their Brigade. Horses were very scarce in this region. My Great Great Grandfather Joseph Lewis was only 17 when he enlisted in the unit and ended being captured guarding some Mills in VA and was sent to Camp Chase OH. He was eventually traded out and rejoined his unit.

Where was the saber purchased from? Looks nice

Good video, real informative, but I'd suggest you work on your editing. There's a lot of dead air you could've trimmed.

Almost mistook your crossed sabers for the Halloween costume crossed muskets😆 Thanks for the attention to accuracy 🙂

Nice video

My grandfather James Madison Fox served with N.C. 2nd Mounted. Do you guys have any information regarding the battle of Walker's Ford? I am writing about my grandfather for HIS-315, NC history class at UNC-A. I would like to discuss the NC 2nd Mounted in more detail with you. Thanks so much for the video!

Some solid pulls indeed. Just getting into D&D miniatures and this set got me hooked to start! Thanks for the unboxing!

Pretty awesome

thanks for the detailed explanation. It took me a while to fully understand what "seeing the Elephant" meant. *LIKED* the presentation. -- LT

Re-enactors can't be trusted NOT to skewer themselves with their sabers? Are they allowed to drive cars?

Awesome ! Greetings from France 🇨🇵

Some really cool minis

Some nice minis there Good way to get a bunch of devils

Nice unboxing. Cant wait to get my hands on mine. But we in Europe have to wait a bit longer.

Love your videos! Can you take some closeups next time so we can see the miniature’s better?
