1st Maryland/Southern Campaign--The 1st Maryland/Southern Campaign is part of a non-profit, educational, historical organization dedicated to preserving and honoring the memory of the soldiers of the Revolutionary War era. (This is the revolutionary war half of the group. The other half is the 39th North Carolina of the War Between The States era. To see specific information about that part of the group click here). Our goal is to portray the Maryland Continental soldier as accurately as possible, through battle reenactments, living history programs, parades, local festivals, school lectures and memorial services. Many of our rules/regulations may seem petty and insignificant but since our goal is to be as accurately as possible, we have to be that way. The more authentic we are, the better we can increase the public's awareness and understanding as to how and why they fought. To do any less would be doing our ancestors and ourselves a disservice.

1st New Hampshire (CTL)--The 1st New Hampshire Regiment is a recreation of one of the three regiments of "regulars" from New Hampshire to serve in the Continental Army under Gen. Washington during the American Revolution. We do this as a hobby for our own enjoyment, and to educate people about the unit and that time period of our history. The current regiment is composed of a company of Line, or battalion troops, a Fife and Drum Music Company, attached riflemen, camp followers and most recently has reactivated it's Artillery Company, servicing a reproduction 3 lb. field cannon.

The 1st NH participates in parades, honor guards, battle reenactments and other activities. We have appeared at events all over the east coast from Georgia to Maine, in Canada and even in England, We are also charter members of The Continental Line, Inc, an organization of more than 60 reenactment units.

Through careful research, the uniforms, encampment, and activities of the Regiment are recreated to provide an authentic environment for living history. The present-day Regiment has participated in hundreds of battle reenactments, encampments, lectures, and parades. These activities have taken us from Georgia to Maine, into Canada, to Colonial Williamsburg, and, as guests of the British Government, to England.

Our strength is our membership. The interests and abilities of the men, women, and children of our organization are as varied as the individuals themselves. An atmosphere of camaraderie and our emphasis on family orientation has enabled us to continue to flourish for over 25 years.

Andrew Porter's Company is alive and well today due to its "modern day" counterpart...the 4th Battalion of Artillery in Corunna, Michigan. Each soldier carries a replica of the Brown Bess musket used during the revolution. He also carries the cartridge case, bayonet, canteen, knapsack, and haversack that was commonly used. The uniforms are faithfully reproduced using the same materials like those of the 18th century. Blue wool coats are faced and lined with scarlet trim and include 42 brass buttons.

6th Connecticut Regiment, Light Infantry
Company
(BMVA, CCMA)--Who are we? We are a group of people that love history and come together to try and portray our forefathers and mothers to the best of our ability. We strive to be as accurate as possible with our portrayal. We have done extensive research to recreate the 18th century Military History, practices, culture, dress and articles that were used in the American Revolution. Our goal is to educate the Publick through lectures, displays, and participation in Patriotic Ceremonies as well as School demonstrations. We take great pride in our interpretation and hard work in bringing the American Revolution alive.

We visit historic sites throughout the Carolinas, Virginia, and beyond, where we reenact battles and demonstrate eighteenth century skills and camp life. We have fun together; our members would not devote so many financial and temporal resources to the hobby if we did not love living history.  We take historical reenacting very seriously and pride ourselves on the high quality of our interpretations of eighteenth century life.  As reenactors, we share our historical knowledge with the public through these interpretations. In this manner, we can vividly explain the past, the everyday men and women who demanded freedom from colonial rule, and the social customs that defined their daily lives.

11th Pennsylvania Regiment--The 11th Pennsylvania Regiment is a Philadelphia based reenactment unit dedicated to the preservation of history and the accurate interpretation of the military and civilian roles of men, women and children in 18th Century America for the education of the general public. We welcome all individuals who share a serious interest in 18th Century folk life.

Alexander Lawson Smith's
Company, Md & Va Rifle Regiment
(CTL)--The recreated Smith's Company was formed in 2001 as an alternate impression for the Maryland Loyalists Inc. It was our desire to have a Continental impression that reflected part of Maryland's history and gave us the flexability to attend events where Redcoats might not be welcome. We are Applicant members of the Continental Line. Because this is an alternate impression, we will be most likely doing a limited number of select events each year.

As a rifle company, we will field in a variety of civilian clothes particular to the 1770's in Maryland. Rifle, smoothbore or musket are acceptable firearms. Each member is responsible for providing their own equipment including but not limited to clothing, firearm, tent and camp goods.

Membership is open to anyone, as it is in the Maryland Loyalists. Although we would prefer that you join both the Maryland Loyalists and Smith's, if you are only interested in the Smith's Company impression, you are welcome to join Smith's exclusively. Dues are the same regardless.

Continental and State Marines
1775-1783
--This unit is a living history unit based out of Roanoke, VA and the surrounding states. We represent the Continental and State Marine forces of the American Revolution. Particulary the Continental Marine company of Captain Matthew Parke, and the Virginia State Marine company of Jacob Pyeatt. This website's sole purpose is to serve as a point of contact for persons intersted in learning more about the role of the United States Marines in the American War of Independence. In addition, persons who may be intersted in joining the unit are strongly encourged to contact the unit for an in-depth imformation packet.

Continental Marines (UK)--Formed in 2000 to take part in the John Paul Jones Festival at Filey, the Continental Marines Re-enactment group provide a much needed adversary to the British and Loyalist Forces in Britain. Thanks to the Mel Gibson film 'The Patriot' interest is growing in the period and we aim to be the best American unit in the UK. And we have the added advantage of portraying the only regiment to have actually landed in Britain during the Revolution!

We have recreated the Marines as they appeared during the American War of Independence, based on descriptions from contemporary accounts and sources. We are currently recruiting throughout Britain and if you are interested in fighting for Liberty and the American cause please email the commanding officer for more details.

Pulaski's Independent Legion (BAR) (CTL)--Pulaski's Legion is dedicated to the perpetuation of the memory of Brigadier General Count Casimir Pulaski and the Independent Legion he founded and commanded during the American War of Independence.

Savage's Detachment of the
Second Continental Artillery
--Savages Detachment is headquartered in Rome, NY with members all over the Central New York area. Our primary purpose is the education of the public about the lives and sacrifices made by the soldiers, women and children in the American Revolution. We do this by recreating, on a very small scale, a unit that actually existed during the war. We chose Savage's Detachment for two reasons, first it as an artillery unit- and second the original Savages Detachment served in our back yard, being garrisoned at Fort Stanwix (Schuyler), located in Rome, NY for nearly two years.

As a unit we strive to accurately portray what an artillery detachment would look like both in garrison and in the field. To accomplish this hundreds of hours of research and years of experience have been put forth by all members to determine what uniform(s) were worn by the men, what types of clothing the civilians would be wearing, what military equipment the soldiers would have been issued, the proper drills, and procedures used by the army at the time and the correct types of food that the soldiers were fed.
