Southeast Coalition of Authentic Reenactors

Member units of the SCAR joined with the WIG, AG, North State Rifles and others to create a battalion of the 10th Texas during the 145th Resaca.

Jim Butler led the SCAR as the captain of Company A.  Friday night featured severe thunderstorms and rain which left everyone soaked for Saturday morning.  It was not long before the sweat saturated whatever was left dry.  High humidity and temperatures in the 80s made for fun times.  The WIG Battalion was lead into battle by Tripp Corbin with capable company commanders such as Jim Butler, Kiev Thomason, and Brian Hicks.  The battles featured a pretty accurate historical ratio with Federal soldiers greatly outnumbering the Confederates.  The action was hot and the rattle of musketry was fierce.  The Confederate soldiers were quickly pushed back into the line of breastworks as the Federals were flanking the end of the lines.  Saturday ended with a stalemate as the Confederate lines held.  Joe Blunt, Justin Morris, and Terre Lawson were out and about selling their authentic wares to soldiers in need of quality equipment and clothing.  Wendell Decker brought his gear out for the soldier wishing to have an image struck to send home to family and friend.  The Georgia Volunteer Battalion worked hard to bring off a quality event.  The rain did not dampen the spirits and began again Saturday night and through Sunday afternoon.  We appreciate the hard work of the SCAR, WIG, Armory Guards, and the North State Rifles in making the battalion of campaigners the best in the field.
