We are a group of Civil War Reenactors based in Denmark. We
portray the 16th
Tennessee Infantry Regiment Volunteers Company G, a unit in the Army of
Tennessee CSA.
We participate in Living History and Battle Reenactments throughout
Scandinavia, Germany, England and of course the Confederate …. OOOPS sorry
the United States.
We seek to inform and educate the general public about the American Civil
War history, with emphasis on the infantry men who served in the Army of
Tennessee, CSA, the arms, equipment and the general tactical principles used
by the armies of the period.
Why reenact the American Civil war being Danish you may ask.
Because a lot of European emigrants and descendents from European emigrants
participated on both sides in the Southern War of Independence and because
there is no other way to ‘experience’ 19th Century warfare on a big scale.
"We held the works that we captured until after night but
just across a draw further up their line they held part of the works. I
ventured out in front of our line to see what I could find and run up on a
dead Rebel and got me a good hat and a few shirts out of the Yankee
knapsacks and then went back into our lines.
I do not remember now when we did leave there, but suppose we
left that night but we were over toward Atlanta after that as I was on the
battle ground several days after that and could see parts of soldiers
sticking out of the ditches where they were buried. I don't know who buried
them. I saw the worst shot man there that I ever saw. A cannon ball cut him
entirely in two except a little strip of skin on each side".
