Welcome to the Internet Home of the Cumberland Guard

Perryville-2012

The Cumberland Guard has received a personal invitation from the Director of the park. There is a keen desire to get a lot of Federals there since, to my amazement, the place is crawling with Rebs.

I raised the tent issue with her (The website said no tents unless the weather was bad) and within an hour, she changes it. Now, pup tents are a problem since they weren't there yet....one reference has them arriving a week after the battle. But A's, wall, Sibleys and even shebangs are perfectly acceptable.

Those of you attending the annual Guard meeting on the 30th of this month, please have an opinion regarding this event. I support the event 100% and remind you this is origional battlefield and we will be on it 150 years after the real thing. A once in a lifetime experience.
