When I was doing Mounted Cavalry, we had members from all over Florida, two in Georgia, One in NC and 3 from Ala.
Course we traveled quite a bit doing event as far west as West Texas, and north to Gettysburg, and many events in
Ill., Mo. ,Ark. ,Tenn. Ky, & N&S Carolina.
My point is , find a good unit in the persuasion you perfur ( Union or Confederate or even a unit that galvanizes { does both} )
in the Branch of service you want. Matters not if it's local, if you don't mind travel, the meca of events are elsewhere anyway.
I can stear you towards the Alabama Division, run by Bill Rambo, in any case contact him, he will hook you up with a good group in any branch of service.
