The Blue and the Gray – The Gallant Custer!
November 13-14, 2010
Tierra Rajada Ranch, Moorpark, CA
Sponsored by the Moorpark Rotary Club, and hosted by the Richmond Howitzers, this event is the largest Civil War reenactment in Southern California, and the largest Civil War reenactment west of the Mississippi. There will be three battles on Saturday, and two on Sunday, with all proceeds going to worthy causes. The Rotary Club has invited Steve Alexander, the country's premier impersonator of Maj. Gen. George Armstrong Custer, to perform in this role. Interesting tidbit: Steve actually owns and lives in Custer's home in Monroe, Michigan! More information here.
