The Carolina Campaign

09/25/2026

We would like to thank everyone who supported the 2026 Skirmish at Gamble's Hotel Reenactment this past March. The event was by every measure a success, we exceeded the number of expected reenactors, the number of spectators was higher than we expected and we did well enough that a profit was made rather than a loss. We thank all of you for your support and it could not have been a success without everyone's help.

We have discussed over the past several months with our fellow event staff, the host company members, and several of the units that attended in 2026, about the possibility of hosting the 2027 event. After due consideration - we have decided that we will not be able to devote the necessary time and resources required to make the 2027 event as successful. Among the discussions was the thought to continue in a smaller fashion, however, it was ultimately decided to end the event on a high note rather than a half-hearted event. If any other unit is interested in taking up the mantle for the event, please reach out and we will be glad to put you in touch with the family, and provide whatever assistance we can.

We will be focusing on putting on other events in South Carolina in the near future, so please be on the lookout as we will be repurposing this page for the next event so that everyone can stay informed!

Thank you all again for your support!

Kenneth Robison,
Captain, Palmetto Riflemen & New York Zouaves.

Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke. With the summer months upon us, it's important for reenactors to be aware of what your body is going through in the heat! Always remember to keep yourself, hydrated, don't over-extend yourself, and keep an eye on your Pards!

Have you ever considered getting into Reenacting or Living History, but are not sure about the cost? Remember groups like ours are here to help you get started with a good entry grade progressive impression that won't break the bank account! Remember - "Expensive does not always equal Authentic" & "Close Enough is not Good Enough!"

When starting out don't go rushing out and buying the first thing you see. Find a good unit, talk with them about what you might need, where to get it - alot of units (like ours) have loaner kit you can use when first starting out.

The image included gives a rough idea of just some of the equipment for a very basic Confederate impression and the ball park prices and vendors that are out there! Remember, Confederate impressions do have a lot more nuance to them and varied from area to area; so this is simply to give an idea of what to expect cost wise. For more information and a guide on what is out there feel free to check out the "What to Get and Where to Get it" Section of our company website - https://www.palmettoriflemen.org/HowTo_01.html
