26th North Carolina Regiment, Reactivated

( www.26nc.org ) The 26th NC Regiment, Reactivated is a Civil War reenacting organization based in North Carolina. With over 200 members, we are the largest single reenacting regiment in North Carolina and possibly the nation. We commit ourselves the preservation of the memory of the Confederate soldiers from North Carolina and their role in the American Civil War. As a unit, We have many facets including components representing not only infantry but also field music, medical, commissary, artillery, cavalry, and civilians. We are also a full fledged historical society who is actively involved in artifact preservation projects through a partnership with the North Carolina Museum of History. Since 2004, the 26th NC has raised over $58,200 for historic preservation, artifact loans, and/or monument placement. We hope you will visit our website to learn more about us at www.26nc.org.

Yes, the members of our regiment portrayed both sides for the video. We have dual impressions and portray Federals from time to time.

Great video! I wish I lived in NC...your unit looks amazing. And what a great regiment to portray...One of my favorite units to read and research in the civil war. Thanks for posting!

[@Tsali12]

Great video, guys! Three members of my family were in the 26th NC, Co. H, from Moore County. You're doing a great job of keeping the memory alive and bringing living history to the current generation. Let us never forget this honored regiment that, in the words of Gen. Pettigrew at Gettysburg, "...covered itself with glory today."

[@26NCT]

It is called "High Price Victory". See the earlier posting below for more information.

As much as I cant say I agree with the rebel cause I can respect soldiers for soldiers from your friends in Federal Blue God bless

[@BeachBoysJanDean1]

Hat's off to your organization and the brave men who served in this fine unit. I'm proud of my heritage represented by the 11th PA Vol. Reg't. from Westmoreland County,PA, but I lived in NC for 17 years and often heard about the 26th. Nicely done!

[@bazookaman1944]

Ive been reenacting for years and I got chills. Very, very, very good video.

[@josded]

Gah every time I watch this video it makes me want to move to North Carolina.

[@freevirginia]

I could never bring myself to "galvanize", but that has to be the best recruiting video and tool for the SCV that I've ever seen. Wonderfully produced. You are to be commended. Thanks for sharing.

[@csaboy27]

36th Virginia Company A myself, and I gota hand it to u, whoever did this video did one hell of a job, I could see this being a great recruiting video, really sparks a lot of interest from a fellow reenactor, hopefully it does the same for someone interested in the hobby. Best of luck in the rest of this season

[@TGCS]

A most wonderfull video, should win some sort of award.

[@blackriflex39]

What amount would one spend to get started reenacting? im from NC and would love to honor our ancestors.

[@DWR101675]

That is a tune called "Charming Molly"

[@ganlesat]

[@ConfederateGypsy]

When I used to live in North Carolina there would be a ceremony on Confederate Memorial Day at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh. After that reenactors would march to the capitol. Does this still take place?

[@TheWoodsmenJoe]

what program did you use to make this vid. I like how you had your pic and then had it come to life very nice work there. and a fine outfit you are in as well. I was wanting to do a recruitment video like this for the 34 Va. Cav.

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

This video is awesome. Were the reenactors playing both blue and gray?

[@Ozai75]

@Michaeldean88 81% Casualties for the 26th, 73% for the 24th Michigan. So I would say that they fought each other to a bloody pulp.

[@Digdug44]

Fort Fisher was awesome

[@Germainmedia]

Very impressive video! Keep up the good work!

[@GriffDaReb]

[@markmason1000]

I saw this show Stephen Hawking was on he said time travel is impossible,maybe thats a good thing, things happen the way they happen for a reason reenacting is the closest thing we can do to actually being there

[@Dennizjoon]

Whats the name of the song ? please tell me I like it alot!

[@jdb80004]

Wow that was a really great video! Any reenactments near October by chance?

[@MustangWW2]

Anybody know the song used in the video?

[@PresidentDRCI]

I love civil war reenactments, I'm starting reenacting in summer, I'll probably be a bugler in the 11th NC troops for another year then switch to the line. p.s. does anyone understand why everyone makes fun of civil war reenactments?

[@Hinkel84]

What is the song called? Where is it from?

[@RussellGummelt]

1:55 Oh noez!

[@appstatecanesfan]

@MrCivilwarlogan I just looked at the "IORN 44th Indiana's" website and had to horse laugh at this comment

[@MrCivilwarlogan]
