Wow!!!?!! How much black powder would you use in that?
I'll have to check wit the owner, but I believe around 200Grains of FG.
That's cool. The commands are given and the crews follow thru.
@@Squib1911 yes sir. Our group does train / practice at each event Lot of new guys with us that day to get familiar with the piece
Just got back from a reenactment. I'm afraid the hobby is on the critical list in Southern California. Looks like it's thriving in Minnesota!
Here in the Midwest Civil War Reenactments have also taken "a hit" with some events closing, we attend other. Best of luck to you pard to enjoy the hobby. Sending you a personal invite to follow our adventures.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 Will do!
Looks like a great day in Stillwater!
Excellent weather, as a side note this Artillery fire was originally schedule for the July 4th celebrations but had to be rescheduled due to the flooding from the St. Croix. Hope you are doing well pard.
By watching this video we have the same amount of combat experience as Minnesota Governor and former General Tim Walz
Pure Genius, Mr. P
thanks pard, glad to have you on the crew
I know what I want for my alarm clock sound
rolling thunder .. thanks pard for the comment, hope you are doing well.
It’s really cool how you got some shots of the cannons!
thanks pard!
Looks like it was a blast!
it was .. we have a spot open on the piece.
I like the cannons!
Me too pard .. between the firing demonstrations we had quite a few folks get a close up look at the cannons.
Nice where is this at
Hey Pard - I've got the location in the video description - location is in historic Stillwater Minnesota - on the banks of the St. Croix River.
Cool!!
It shocks me that with such easy access to research ,these events are getting further and further from educational and closer to satirical.
Reminds me of the 145th Gettysburg. Love "Hell on the Wabash"!
I'm sure a good time was had on the 145th pard. are you still active going to reenactments?
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 At 61, my best days have passed. I still keep up my membership though.
that artillery drill needs alot of work
Has it come out yet?
Hexagonal rifling on the bore of a cannon is so interesting to me, i bet it was a force to be feared by any who didnt have one
I agree .. I would love to be on a crew that live fires one. THANKS pard for the comment and sending you a personal invite to follow us at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters/
Wagons out there really added to it all in the battle. Lots of young guys. That's great to see! Looked like a great time!
Fun fact: we had plans for carrying the "wounded" off the field on stretchers and take them to the wagon ambulance -- however the canvas stretchers had some rips and rot so deemed not safe to do so. THANKS pard for the comment.
How much are each of those parrot shots costing you?
for blanks we use ~3/4 pound of powder so around $30 if you have to pay "full price" for black powder. We do purchase in bulk so it a bit less.
Looks like highly motivated troops! The music was great.
Well sir, off camera the troops were a bit more leisurely. I do enjoy all the camp music. THANKS pard for you support.
That rendition of Battle Cry of Freedom is beautiful
I just loved all the camp music .. thanks pard for the comment hope you are dong well --LT
The first thought I have watching the first 18 seconds is the Battle of Gettysburg Movie because of how realistic the movie is and the reanactment
we reenactors did get a very small taste of battle conditions... in some battles the rebels just keep coming seeming by the hundred ... felt like we were very outnumbered. thanks for the comment!
This stuff is great.
Thanks pard .. hope you are doing well.
Excellent video John!
thank you! miss you and the Mr a this one but will see you on the march later this summer.
Where I sign up to join the reenactment!?
Join a unit, you can probably find one near you on the internet, but it is very costly so you better have a passion for history !
Agreed with the comment below - look for a reenactment group in your area. if you are looing for this specific site here the old event info www.cantonsouthdakota.com/CivilWarDays/ - this specific event is held every two years.
this is the best thing ive ever seen on you tube, i need to meet this guy!!!
THANKS pard!
the person who created this is a videographic genius!!
I’m in the video thanks a lot
Ur awesome thank you so much
Nice to have camped with you pard. keep marching and hope to see you again on the march or around the camp fire.
Dinner looked great. I remember one time at Civil War weekend at Ft Snelling back in the 80s , they made Pork, onions and sauerkraut, boiled potatoes and homemade bread and butter. Many turned their noses up at it but it was absolutely delicious and I still eat it to this day!
Sounds like a great meal to me pard. Wish I/we could go back in time and re-live the Fort Snelling Minnesota Civil war days.
My father in law and I had a wonderful time getting water!
such a fun time at this event pard, and glad he enjoyed it ... a lot more to fun to actually participate (even if its on water detail) than to simply watch. Perhaps next time getting him into ranks.
Looks like an excellent event! Thanks for sharing!
for sure pard
Another day, another civil war reenactment!
great weekend .. I wish more of these were 3 day events - get a bit more time in the field. THANKS for the comment pard. --LT
This is awesome
yes sir .. so much fun and meet a lot of reenactors from different states.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 and I saw the video of that event you did in Colorado That's actually the first time I've ever seen anyone really reenact anything related to the US cavalry on the frontier let alone in the years after the civil war
Must’ve been a fun day… I was busy celebrating my birthday on the 20th
Happy birthday Pard!
So much fun at the event. Mock Battles, camp music, cook'en over the fire, dance a night, and meeting new reenactors. If you enjoyed the video subscribe to the channel to follow our adventures. In addition, sending you a personal invite pard ,to follow us at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters --LT

@@1stminnsharpshooters341 Thank you
So no part 2
sorry pard, no part2. I'll be attending this event in next time (in 2 years) perhaps I could fall out of ranks and film the entire event.
@1stMinn Sharpshooters, thinking of getting my father a black mother pistol for his birthday, torn between a 1847 walker Colt .44, and a 1958 Remington .44 I know the Walker is more of a horse gun, and the Remington was more for the army later on, which is most iconic, but also enjoyable to shoot, and I read exchanging the cylinders is easier on the Remington, is this true?
Touches my ❤....God Bless All of you and thank you.
thanks pard
Warms my heart!
duty
It does my heart good to see the regiment out and about
thanks pard!
Are u going to make a part 2
For the ceremony or the rest of the event? Cause this part didn't last that long.
@@definitely_not_Hirohito I was not able to take additional video ... perhaps the event organizers have the full session.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341That's sad
The 1st Minnesota unfortunately gets overshadowed by the 20th Maine but they saved the Union.
thanks pard
