The members of the Rifles primarily portray Federal and Confederate (Yes, we do Galvanize!) infantrymen of the western theater of the war, which featured the battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chickamauga.
The Rifles seek to portray troops in the field or on campaign, not in garrison.
The Rifles are currently affiliated with the First Illinois Battalion and the Cumberland Guard.
The members of the Rifles attend many reenactments across the midwest and nationally from late spring to late fall, and even in the winter from time to time.
The Rifles are actively seeking recruits in all the states listed above. The company currently boasts over 30 members and is growing daily. For an information packet please contact the company recruiter or look for us in force at events along the Mississippi River.
If you are trying to assemble your uniform and kit, feel free to consult the threads on our Information Station link to the right. The discussion board features sutler links, descriptions of uniform parts, etc.
