Civil War Reenacting began as Reunions for the veterans, but as they began to die off reenacting began. Reenacting, however, really began to take off in the 1960’s because that is when all of the 100 year anniversaries were occurring, and from those major engagements such as Gettysburg, Antietam, and Vicksburg; you get all these different organizations such as the National Civil War Association, Reenactors of the American Civil War, The American Civil War Society, The American Civil War Association, and the Cascade Civil War Society. Through the RACW, the sharpshooters were born and we have celebrated our eighth anniversary of the unit.

All gave some, Some gave all
