Twin Rivers Campaign

This will be a three day full event. Please plan on arriving no later than Thursday if at all possible and to get the full effect of this terrific event. Come whatever day is best for you and you will have every opportunity we can give you as well.

It will provide a camp setting for every Reenactor. Static, civilian, Refugee, garrison and of course campaign. The amount of land for this event will provide every person the type of event they wish for.

We will be setting up a small Sutler and village type town of which will be mid way between the CS camps and the Fed. Camps along with a third dimension of fighting with an army of “Home Guards”

Col. Nick Medich of Medich’s Battalion has agreed to serve as commander of the Home guard and with his experience as such at past events, will no doubt give you all something very special to remember.

While parking for the event will be near to each camp, it will be completely out of site from all camps. Campaign camping will be as completely at your officers wish and plenty of land is provided to suit your every need. Static camps will be placed very near but again out of direct site of the campaigns and within in a close distance to the town. This site is completely pristine in every manner and is within a few miles of Fort Donelson.

We will be recreating the final days before the fall of Donelson and the actions that took place in the three days before. This is NOT a tactical but a true (as possible) version of what the armies did, how the searched for each other, the strategies that were required and the replica of the final movement and battle of the final day of the attack will be the scripted battles on Saturday and Sunday. There is well over 5000 acres for us to use and more if we wish. This site has been an equestrian area for a number of years and is lined with trails and roads throughout the entire site. Bring a compass so you do not get lost.

You can fight as much as you like or as little as you wish. Your Brigade commander will be in Charge of your actions and we will be soldiers.

All usual amenities will be afforded to you no matter what style of camping you desire. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for. All branches will work together as they did back then.

Artillery, There is room for as many pieces you can muster, Horse drawn artillery is especially welcome and you will have an opportunity to show all your stuff as well.

Cavalry, there was an abundance of Federal Cavalry and they actually outnumber N. Forrest Cavalry who was a big part of this campaign.

Infantry, Grant had over 15,000 men and a large variety of different units. (unit designations will be announced soon).

Medical, This is your chance to shine as well. Bring all you have.

Engineers, You will be called upon for as much as you can to make this a true experience for all of you as well.
