Re: Uniform of the 42nd Mississippi

George,
I will most certainly help you! I live about 20 minutes from Gettysburg and am in town quite often. I will be there next week in fact and will take my camera along with me. If there are any particular areas of the battlefield and the town itself you would like photographed I will definitely add those to what I take. I know the battlefield exstensively and it wont be hard to find anything you are looking for. I have some photos available on our companies website of events we have attended and I will be attending the 147th Annual Gettysburg Reenactment entirely so I can take even more for you then of course. I love this hobby and the history behind it, and if there is anything I can do to contribute to educate others I will enthusiastically do all I can! Our website for the 42nd Mississippi Co. I has been added to this post if you care to check it out. If you could contact me privately on my email wileys6@verizon.net I will talk with you further on how to get the pictures to you and contact you in that way.

I also live about 25 minutes of Hanover which is south of me. Hanover of course is where J.E.B. Stewart's calvary met and battled George Custer's Calvary the days just prior to Gettysburg and there is some monuments and markings in the town there which I could make a trip to snap some shots of as well as some point. It is never a inconvenience to drag my wife along and go see historical landmarks and towns...although she rolls her eyes at times, she does love to go along and have a day out exploring!..lol

Cashtown is just 10 minutes north of Gettysburg and the famous Cashtown Inn is located there. Generals Heth, Imboden, Pettigrew, and A.P. Hill stayed just before that march into Gettysburg for the alledged shoes on that deadly first day, July 1, 1863. Chambersburg is just another 10 or 15 minutes north of Cashtown and there is some information in that area as well. Just south is Frederick and sometime this Summer I may be there as well (my wife taking me there for shopping and such..lol). There were other small battles along that corridor between Chambersburg and Harrisburg and I will try to get some shots of those areas as I pass through them.

Like I said, give me a shout by email and Ill gladly help you and we can exchange contact information more securely.
