Would love to talk with you about it but can not find any contact info. I follow you on the Living History eEngineer blog. Please contact me at my email. Mapczar

If you wish to talk with me that is the way I can accommodate you best. If you are interested in reenactment, I am a member of the New England Brigade and of the Unit; Northeastern Topogrphical Engineers (NETE). I also serve as Gneral Grant's Chief Engineer and acting Chief of Staff. PerhapsI may be of some snall assistance to you.
