Members of the Progressive Reenactor Community:

The staff and commander of the Mississippi Valley Brigade invites you to attend a very important and significant organizational conference this July in Vicksburg, MS. The purpose of the conference is to share ideas, goals and visions for forming a Brigade made up entirely of progressive reenactors. All members of authentic living history messes and companies, are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Certainly, if you lead such a unit, your presence is greatly encouraged. Just as much as we desire to share our ideas, it is especially important to hear yours!

The Mississippi Valley Brigade is a standing brigade of the First Confederate Division. Our current two member battalions are the Red River Battalion and the Elk River Battalion. Both of these units are progressive in their impressions. We also enjoy a strong relationship with the WIG and the Buttermilk Rangers. We do not currently have, nor desire to recruit, mainstream reenacting units. In fact, our vision is to build up a Brigade of men dedicated to an authentic impression in every way. It is this exciting proposition and other important details that we desire to discuss in Vicksburg.

**I realize that many names are missing from this list that need to be included. Unfortunately, I do not have the contact emails for each individual. Therefore, I am counting upon you to forward this invitation to your pards and mess mates. Please make an effort to help me pass the word.**

The battlefield Inn has blocked off 15 rooms at a discounted rate of $62 for one person and $66 for two people. This includes a complete breakfast buffet and two tokens redeemable for drinks from the bar. All you need to do is call the 800 # above and reference the Mississippi Valley Brigade meeting. This is a nice hotel and it sits next door to the Vicksburg national battlefield. Of course Vicksburg is a haven for Civil War enthusiasts. There are several antebellum homes to visit, museums to tour and a historical downtown full of antique shops www.vicksburg.org. There is much to do for the whole family and a great way to spend a weekend. However the brigade is not responsible for funds that may be lost at the casino boats J.

I look forward to seeing you in Vicksburg!

YOS,

Mark Griffin
