Longstreet's Corps of Artillery
Brigadier General E. Porter Alexander
Mission
| Longstreet's Corps
of Artillery is one of the fastest growing artillery
organizations in the reenacting hobby today. Our
membership is drawn from a community of capable and enthusiastic
men and women from many racial, ethnic, and religious
backgrounds from both north and south who have committed
themselves to a mission of professionalism as living historians
and accuracy in reenacting. We are not professional actors
or actresses, but living historians from all walks of life who
have a serious interest in authenticity, safety, and our duty to
an accurate portrayal of an artillery corps during the period of
the war between the states. We strive for historical
accuracy in the re-creation of many of the roles individuals
played during the war: Civilian, soldier, musician,
surgeon, nurse, cook, and clergy. Additionally, we are committed to both the independence and individuality of member units, as this is also an accurate portrayal of the war period, and it embodies our dedication to democratic principles. Our goal is to provide a sound leadership and organizational structure for individual reenactors and units to enjoy the hobby and to prosper while honoring the memories of our Confederate and Union heroes - Americans all. |
This battalion uses both the drills of the NCWAA and the USFAA.
