The Division Cavalry Brigade is pleased to announce the following event in cooperation with the Trans-Mississippi Brigade  in bringing you just one of the battles in:

PRICE’S RAID

April 30 - May 2, 2004

Fort Bellefontaine, Missouri

St. Louis Area

All Branches Welcome and Desired

 (Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Medical, Engineer, &etc.)

I-270 & Bellefontaine Rd. 63138

This pristine site is very much like the original descriptions of the actual site where these battles occurred.

The Infantry will be re-creating the

“Battle of Westport”

on huge fields surrounded by rolling wooded hills. 

The Cavalry (Mounted, dismounted) will be fighting along the river  as well as across and thru similar ground while they re-create  the

 “Battle of Big Blue”

Both battles will occur at the same time in different areas close  to each other  so you will feel and hear the same as the  men did at the actual battle.

Commanders, here is your opportunity to see what you and your men can do under fire. 

There will be unscripted battles as well so come prepared to fight all weekend. Camps are your choice.  There is gorgeous sites for those who wish to set up permanent camps or for those who wish to campaign. All are within close distance to all battle sites so you are never far from either location.

Early registration is desired, (see registration link) usual amenities, hay, water, straw, and a LARGE area for all to enjoy.

For any unit that can attend on Friday, this area is perfect for your UNIT Training Camp if you desire.
