Co "K", 6th TX Infantry
This spring we go to Shiloh 150th anniversary
reenactment
____________________________________________
.
Co. "K", 6th Texas Infantry Regiment "Alamo
Guards" is a group of dedicated men and women who reenact the period of
the American War Between the States (often called the Civil War)
in order that our generation may better understand this important and pivotal
part of our country's history.
While our primary impression is Confederate, we DO galvanize
(portray) as Federal Infantry when needed.
(Our secondary impression is 165th New York Volunteer Infantry – Zouaves!) Here is a picture from the Galveston event Jan 14th 2012, as
ordinary Western Federals:

And the newspaper article:

We belong to the 1st Confederate Division and it is the policy of the
Division to galvanize where needed.
We also fall in with our pards in the 9th Texas Infantry and
comprise the Red River Battalion.

Seen here at the Murfreesboro reenactment, Oct. 2003
About half of our members are from the San Antonio (Bexar
County) area, and we have many who
live north to Austin, south to Laredo
and to Corpus Christi, and from Houston.
Authenticity is our greatest goal
but safety is our #1 goal. All new recruits will be taught and certified
in safety and drill first before being allowed to shoot or carry any
weapon on the field. We owe this to you and the pards
on the field. This is NOT negotiable.
