Greetings, everyone. My name is Matt Harris and I live in Littleton, Colorado. The War Between the States re-enacting out here is sparse, so I participate in Cowboy Action Shooting, including SASS and NCOWS.
I'm originally from Georgia, and have documented the Civil War service of five of my great great grandfathers (guess which side - no hard feelings). Regardless, I like anyone who is serious about documenting and portraying the history of our great nation!
One of my hobbies is writing historical fiction, and I am basing a novel on my great great grandfather Stephen Swain of the 12th (Lee's Bloody Twelvth) Georgia Infantry of the Army of Northern Virginia.
I have a Parker Hale (first generation) Whitworth rifle and am purchasing a Shiloh Sharps 1863 NM percussion rifle. I hope to learn a great deal from your fine forum.
Semper Fi to any former Marines on the forum.
Matt
