Re: Re: Picket Post Event Shaping Up

Depending on who shows up we can probably even out the numbers in cavalry without much of a problem. Logistics won't be too hard to manage in this area. We should be able to supply a hay drop for the horses but there is not much grazing to be had.

Just fire up the boys for the event, it should be a lot of fun and a great experience. We also have to encourage reading and educating about the campaign, anyone have any good book suggestions that might give a view as to specifics on cavalry during this period in the Shenandoah Valley? Anyone aware of letters from troops who were involved? It would help in doing 1st person tremendously to be aware of what typical experiences troopers had up to the date.

Ken, lets produce some handouts for the next cav training so the guys who don't view this site can be informed.
