  • Who We Are:

    In the fall of 2009 a couple of reenactors got together and decided that it would be good idea to form a progressive reenacting group from North Carolina, with no politics involved. Through research in the past couple of years one regiment has stood out as forgotten to time, and their sacrifices just a page in history. Our group seeks to remember these brave men's sacrifices through living histories, battle reenactments, and presentations. Through this we hope to educate the public on what life was like during the Civil War.

    On any given weekend (see schedule) we participate in reenactments, pitch tents, put on confederate uniforms and step into the past trying our best to portray these soldiers. Meeting up with old friends and sharing stories, both serious and comical. Most events begin on Saturday morning and end late Sunday afternoon. Some guys get there late Friday night and others Saturday morning. We cook our food over an open fire and drill just like they did. In drill we always strive to be the best so it is necessary to get it right, and to be the best on the field you also have to be the safest.

    There are several sutlers out there to choose from to get equipment, but be careful some will sell you things that won't go along with your impression. It's always good to take someone with you who knows the 'ropes.'Our impression mainly concentrates on an early to mid-war impression during the Civil War. When we do an 1861 impression we do the 5th N.C.T. Co. F.

    There are no dues to join our group. Since this is an expensive hobby and we do this for enjoyment, there is no need for dues. We are not a business, like other units. If there is a fee to enter events, every person is responsible for themselves. You will be given the information in e-mails or it will be posted online on our website. Every reenactor needs to strive to always improve on their impression.

    *Schedule of Events 2011:

    -April 30-May 1 Rising Sun, Indiana

    -August 20-21 Battery Hooper, Ky

    *Note: At NON COMPANY EVENTS members will fall in with another group. Members are also not required to attend these events, but if they can represent the 48th N.C.T. then it would be a good idea to do so. This schedule is subject to change.

    *Equipment Guidelines:

    48th North Carolina Infantry Company F (3) Jackets:

    -Grey sack coat, shell jacket, and Richmond Depot Type 2 Shell Jackets.

    -Make sure the jacket is comfortable. Get it a size or two bigger.
