March 1, 2003 Please meet at the Carriage House located in Heritage Park. For additional information, times and schedule you can email Jim Tibbetts. Louisiana Brigade Sponsored 4th Annual School of the Soldier and Civilian is on the Heritage Park calendar. The Louisiana Brigade, WBSHA, and Heritage Park sponsor this event. The event will be held at Heritage Park (12100 Mora Drive Santa Fe Springs, Ca. 90670). This event is planned to provide a site so that the maximum educational and training benefit to all Confederate and Union Civil War Reenactment Units in Southern California will occur. All members of the FTHA, ACWS, WBSHA, independents, etc. are invited to attend this event. This year we are tentative planning to have the School of the Soldier and Company in the morning, with Infantry Battalion Drill in the afternoon. At the soldier and company drill one will learn drill such as the manual of arms, basic marching, proper wearing of the uniform and accouterments, bayonet drill and general safety rules. For the Battalion drill, all infantry companies are invited to attend and drill. All reenactors, soldiers and civilians are invited to attend for a day of living history, military demonstrations and training and period education. Gates open at 7:00 AM and close at dark. Speakers Wanted!!! Is there a Civil War period topic you have studied and can present a forty-five minute workshop on at the School of the Civilian? I am looking for qualified individuals or groups that are informed on a particular Civil War topic and can present it in an engaging manner. This is one annual event where you can educate other reenactors and the public in the time period or the hobby. This is not a forum for military themes but if you have studied such topics as the following: customs of the period, manners, religion and its part in the Civil War, cooking in camp, cooking substitutes for those who are blockaded, clothing construction and fabrics, children's wear, women's wear, sewing tips, music, a period impression, hair works, hair dos, head wear, Civil War poems, literature of the period, etc., we would like to hear your presentation. The School of the Civilian is in conjunction with the School of the Soldier. They will both be held on Sat., March 1, 2003, at Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs. Call Cheryl Schoenberger at 562-947-9512 if you are interested.
