I am a member of the Old Northwest Mili...Hi, David. I am a member of the Old Northwest Military History Association, which is the volunteer association at Fort Meigs. We mostly represent Cushing's Company, 2nd US Artillery (who served as both infantry and artillery at times) as well as some US Regiment of Rifles, Kerchival's Co, 7th US Infantry, and civilians. <br />Other units that regularly attend events include the 1st Michigan Militia Regiment (Monroe, Michigan), 1st "Regiment of Volunteers" (US 12-months volunteers such as Alexander's Battalion made up of the Petersburg Volunteers, Pittsburgh Blues, and Greensburg Rifles--though they don't actually recreate a historical unit), Langham's "voltigeur" Company of the 19th US Infantry, the 17th US Infantry, US Regiment of Rifles, Shawnee Warriors, and Kentucky/ other militia units on the American side. Our counterparts on the British side include the 41st Foot (only British regular regiment to serve at Fort Meigs), either or both flank cos of the 8th Foot, Caldwell's Rangers, Royal Navy detachments. That's off the top of my head and not a complete list. Most of these units have websites as well. Most of them are from our region, and several hail from Northwest Ohio or Southeast Michigan.Dan Wilkenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667142637286557545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938326318179153600.post-28310761672585019692012-07-16T22:22:06.347-04:002012-07-16T22:22:06.347-04:00Nice videos and website.
