The 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters, also known as Berdan's Sharpshooters, was a specialized unit in the Union Army during the American Civil War. This regiment was composed of highly trained marksmen who were skilled in long-range shooting and reconnaissance. They were equipped with specially designed rifles and were often used for skirmishing, sniping, and scouting behind enemy lines. The unit earned a reputation for their deadly accuracy and played a key role in several major battles, including the Battle of Gettysburg.

Welcome to the Company Street of Company H, Second Wisconsin,
Company H, of the Second Wisconsin was reformed at the end of 1997 by a handful of people who wanted just a little more out of the reenacting hobby. It was decided that the company should portray 1862 when the Iron Brigade earned its' sobriquet and showed the Union Army how to fight (Not to mention the gaiters look really cool!). Because of this choice Company H has a distinct look out in California.If any of this appeals to you contact us and we will be sure to invite you out for a weekend.

Sumter were primarily from Manhattan, and the surrounding Burroughs. The 5th severed from April 1862, for a two year term. We accommodate campaigners and "car-paigners" with a slight emphasis toward campaigners. The 5th NY was assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Div., 5th Corps, Army of the Potomac.

We are a group of living historians based in Northern California. We portray the 28th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment Company B, which fought in the American Civil War from 1861-1865. Our goal is to study and understand the lives and experiences of the men of the 28th Massachusetts and to share that knowledge. We hope to honor those who fought and fell to preserve the Union. This is a place for new and veteran reenactors to come together to learn about the history of the 28th Mass. We are a family oriented unit. All are welcome.
