Battle of Mississinewa – Marion Indiana, Oct 9 – 11, 2015
Three of our brave members, one recovering from a broken ankle, made the 8 hour journey to the Battle of Mississinewa in Marion Indiana on thanksgiving weekend. The event is very well attended and any redcoat presence is very welcome. Mississinewa rounds out our re-enacting season. After this, kit and accouterments are cleaned, repaired and stored for the winter. We were able to get some pictures to post c/o Deb Brown! Deb always gets the best shots!!
