2013

This year marked the climax of the 150th Annviersaries with two trips to Gettysburg: the first in July for the double Gettysburg Reenactments held in late June, early July... and then in November for the marking of the 150th Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address at Remembrance Day. In June, we had the unique honor of assisting the Missing In America Project with the interment of the remains of two Civil War Soldiers at Pinelawn National Cemetery. We also held our Fifth Annual Civil War Weekend at the Grange in September and made our debut at the Center Moriches Saint Patrick's Day Parade the day after our traditional march at Westhampton Beach. In November, we performed a Living History at Hillside Public Library with the 52nd New York and President Lincoln (Bob Costello). At this year's Smithtown Historical Society school program we recorded the performance of our horse soldier comrades, the 10th NY Cavalry.

Remembrance Day: 150th Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, PA

November 23, 2013

PART ONE:
For this year's ceremony at our monument on Culp's Hill, we decided to commemorate this special anniversary by re-enacting part of 1888 dedication of the monument. We also place a wreath at the 65th NY monument as many of the veterans from the First Long Island reenlisted with them once they were formally mustered out in June 1864.

PART TWO:
Very cold this for this year's parade but not unbearable in the woolens. This was our first time marching with the U.S. Volunteers and with twenty men marching we formed our own Company for the first time. Another change for this special anniversary...Hardee Hats!

GUIDED TOUR:
On the Sunday morning after Remembrance Day, we hired a tour guide to cover Culp's Hill where the original 67th NY, First Long Island fought during the battle. While skies were blue, it was bloody freezing with temps in the 20s. Our guide did an excellent job covering everything in 90 minutes.

PART ONE:
We saw a lot of action on Saturday. In addition to our scheduled battle we had three impromptu tacticals during the day.

We attracted plenty of cameras to the Grange this weekend including that of SMARTSCANMEDIA who shot this excellent footage of our event.

This video was filmed by Brian Jingeleski on the Saturday of our event and later broadcast on Cablevision's Channel 12 News.

The Missing in America Project
Interment of Civil War Remains

Farmingdale, NY

June 22, 2013

The Missing in America Project (MIAP) reached out to us about assisting with the interment of the remains of two Civil War soldiers. We in turn reached out to our friends in the community including George Munkenbeck of Co. H, 14th Brooklyn, the 10th NY Cavalry, and the Daughters of Union Veterans. Even more appropriate and by sheer coincidence, these two Civil War veterans (Henry Eggers and Emanuel Lederer) belonged to the 39th NY, better known as the Garibaldi Guard for which there is a current Living History group based only just upstate. The 39th NY sent several of their men down to help and haul the caisson carrying the remains to the ceremony.
