A Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan reenactment unit focused on portraying the 24th Michigan Volunteer Infantry and its Iron Brigade service.
- For
- Civil War reenactors in Southeast Michigan
- Worth noticing
- Its rules prescribe the Iron Brigade’s black Hardee hat rather than a forage cap and expressly prohibit modern synthetic materials.
Field notes
The site separates the unit’s history, events and battles, gallery, and enlistment route, then lays out its standards as numbered articles. Those rules specify period materials and construction, require members to match accoutrements to the date and place portrayed, and cite photographs, quartermaster records, and surviving artifacts as evidence. The page also prescribes the Iron Brigade’s black Hardee hat rather than a forage cap; the excerpt does not show the full standards.
