Civil War Encampment

Smithtown, NY
May 21 - 22, 2010
The Best Weather Thus Far... reigned upon our usual annual 'mudfest' that is the Smithtown Historical Society's school program. Not a drop of rain to be seen. Filling out the Confederate side: the 9th, 30th, & 57th Virginia with Jackson's Flying Artillery and Dr. Michael Callaghan's hospital. As for the Union, the 67th NY stood alone with the 10th New York Cavalry in support. To hide the disparity in numbers we had two skirmish battles with us hiding in the woods and taking on the approaching Rebel battlefront. It actually worked! We have no right to call ourselves even pretend soldiers if we can't be resourceful.
