Welcome to the 44th Illinois web page!
The 44th Illinois is currently one of the largest and fastest
growing civil war reenacting units in Illinois. We pride
ourselves on the strong reputation we’ve built as a good
unit that is out there to have fun. We don’t get ourselves
heavily involved in the politics of electing leaders. We hold an
election every year for that very purpose, and every member in
the unit has a vote to decide who will fill the ranking positions
in the unit. Our unit consists of an infantry unit, an artillery
battery, a regimental band, a ladies aid society, and a mounted
cavalry unit. The mounted cavalry unit is just getting started so
it is rather small. We use 500 acres of land in Nason, Illinois
to play on and we hold our own reenactment there every year. We
have constructed a split rail fence and a log wall on the
property, which we put to good use during the battles. We also
hold a meeting every year to decide what events we will attend. I
absolutely love this hobby and want it to continue to grow as it
has been. For information on how to join our unit or if you have
any questions about the unit in general please feel free to
e-mail me at brummett@plantnet.com. I have also posted a list of frequently
asked questions for new recruits. If
you would prefer to contact the 44th Illinois through phone you can call our commanding
officer (1st Sgt. Mike Mckee) at (618) 244-0586. Or you can call me
(1st Corporal Abram Brummett) at (618) 692-8297.
Here is a picture of the 44th in action at Keokuk, IA. We are in there somewhere around the flags.
