Is anyone on the board going to Cowpens? An Augusta County Militia is coming with about 25 people, but I understand that this is different from the Augusta Regt. |

There will be a lot of people, and one of them might be named Mel. And one of our group always brings a slab of tree trunk and practices his tomahawk throwing, but his name is Bruce.
Little things that bother me: The unit in charge of the Patriot Line is the 2nd SC. They surrendered at Charles Town the preceeding May and ceased to exist as a unit. They were not there. No way. One more reason I am thankful to be Militia and not Line. |

This is the info for the event:

One of their members said that they would be tho ones without tents. A few years ago it got so cold that some people woke up the next morning with their beards and mustaches frozen. I have been there in snow and misting rain. Tents help. Also it is said that there is a ghost or two.

Got any info on this Fitz? I have always wanted to go! A History Professor here at ECU wrote A Devil of a Whipping about the Battle of Cowpens and goes every year!

Yep, it is different. They are based out of Virginia and claim to be "hardcore" types. |
