Hello all,

I would like to let everyone know that in an effort to deconflict between the Sally Port Mess's "Disaffected in Canada" and "The Fight for Crampton's Gap" (FCG), I have decided to move FCG to the weekend of July 16-18, 2010.

The Fight for Crampton's Gap will be portraying the actions that happened at Crampton's Gap on September 14, 1862 during the series of fights that made up the Battle of South Mountain. This will take place on the same land that "Retreat From Bentonville" was held on near Blanchardville, Wisconsin.

Jason Reinholz will be commanding the Confederate force and Steve Acker will be commanding the Federal force. There will also be room for civilians, Confederate Cavalry, and a limited number of Federal cavalry as well.

More information regarding impressions, etc will be coming forth later, along with a website.

Thanks!
Dan Chmelar

I registered for Crampton's Gap via the electronic form and paypal on 1/20. I am concerned that something did not go right. Paypal is showing the money as unclaimed and I have not received a confirmation of registration (not sure I should).
