Fort Abercrombie Emory Upton’s 1867 New Drill
Our pards from the Co. D, 5th Minnesota Infantry Living History Group host this year opening day at Fort Abercrombie on the Red River in North Dakota.
This weekend we are representing the 10th US Co. D Infantry as they garrisoned the fort in the summer of 1867. During this period, the order was published for infantry to cease utilizing the current tactics and switch over to Bvt. Major General Emory Upton’s newly adopted Infantry Tactics.
Known historically as "the Gateway to the Dakotas," Fort Abercrombie was the first permanent United States military fort established in what was to become North Dakota. It was also the only post in the area to be besieged by Dakota (Sioux) warriors for more than six weeks during the US-Dakota War of 1862. During the conflict, Minnesota Volunteer soldiers manned the fort when area settlers sought shelter there. The "regular" U.S. Army soldiers had been withdrawn during the Civil War and had been replaced by the Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. The fort was not protected by blockhouses or a palisade during the siege, but these defensive structures were constructed soon afterward. [www.history.nd.gov/historicsites/abercrombie/index.html]

This looks like such a great event. Smashing video chap,love it.
thanks pard. glad that you enjoyed our time on the field. Feel to check out our other adventures any time. --LT
This is so cool! Great vid mate
Thanks for the visit
Did u see the EA encirled cartouche on the stock?
good eye .. I never notice this.
This is not a reenactment! You built a time machine and recorded the entire civil war!
ha ha ha .. hope you enjoyed all the fun at this event pard. Feel free to check out our other adventures .. stop back any time. --LT
Your charge is weak... I've shot 1858 Remington's and 1851s and 1860 army's.. 36 cal and 44 cal. Brother I can pack them tight and full and penetrate 2 2x4s together no problem. In 36 and 44.. I've packed 44s so hard and tight that they kick like a 357... I've tried to blow up cylinders packing with hammer and ramrod into each chamber and couldn't blow them up. Tighter the fit the more velocity...
yes I was cautious with the lighter loads pard. I was a bit newer to the BP revolvers and of course got more confident with loads over usage. thanks Pard for the comment! --LT
I love how when the confederates are charging they’re asking if all the union soldiers are they OK and they’re saying they look good and they all make friends at the end. That’s just true spirit and that warms my heart bro that’s amazing. That’s another reason why I can’t wait to go to reenactments and be in reenactments! But it’s also cool but also surprising that like 13 or 15 year-old boys and girls their dancing that’s pretty cool. I guess I don’t know if you ever wanna go out reenacting follow your advice.
glad you enjoyed the clip of the rebels giving us union "dead" boys a good natured hard time ... truly a great group of folks on both side of the line. THANKS pard for the comment and well keep post'en our adventures in the field. --LT
Is there a recruitment website or anything I’m interested in joining the 1st Minnesota Sharpshooters but can’t find the proper information?
Hey Pard - at this time our group is only online - the adventures on this channel are when we participate with other groups. Happy to have you and anyone else that enjoys CW reenacting to apply to join our members only group at facebook.com/groups/1st.Minn.Sharpshooters
im assuming that most of these guns a 10-pounder Parrott rifle's? if im wong please correct me but very cool seeing the operations.
You are correct Sir 10 pound Parrot rifles. We do live fire these (at the range of course) and this is quite the experience .. for your interest pard at th-cam.com/video/i7x3VxW0uGw/w-d-xo.html
There were not that many trees & shrubs anywhere, if my memory of old photos serve me right. This was pretty much bald knobs & prairie.
you are likely correct pard, when I was marching and looking for Indians my thought was that they could be hiding anywhere and likely see us coming from miles out.
Re-Enactors PSH, #skirmisklife #N-SSA. (j/k, never reenacted before. Bet it's a good time)
who wonn this battle..
Hey Pard - good question ... this battle was one by the Union and to many considered the turning point on the Civil War -- here a clip for a bit more info won by the Union, is widely considered the Civil War's turning point,
Hey, nice video. I was in this battle, just on the other side
Hey pard, what group do you march with? If you can send me a link to any FB pages and I'll follow your adventures.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 ok, I don’t have Facebook, but at this battle I was falling in with a different group
Pickles and sauerkraut to deal with scurvy? 🤔
Even google believes this to be true "Not only are they delicious but they're packed full of minerals, vitamins and good bacteria. Pickles have a high concentration of vitamins such as Vitamin K, Vitamin C and Vitamin A, this is due to water being drawn out of the pickles by the salty brine they are pickled in." - hope you are doing well pard.
Holy super farbs.. wow that's taking mainstreaming to a new low
Union artillery reenactor here. Wow! Fantastic impressions! Not a speck of farb in camp! That's what the 1860's looked like! Well done!
I had fallen in with the Croaker Mess this weekend - great group of guys. If you like CW artillery I've got quite a bit on this channel as I march with Battery I as well - Here's one for your - a 6 part mini-series of 3-5min clips from the famous Paulson Brothers at th-cam.com/video/fNOKFbbp1ZY/w-d-xo.html
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 Thanks! In 2020 l was pretty sure our hobby was done. I'm glad to see that's not the case!
There is a cure for scurvy?
prevention for .. I always associated lemons for this
This is cool!
Thanks for the comment pard. I'd love to see more of the original building on this site rebuilt.
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 that would be cool!
the pickles were an interesting fact!
I've considered Lemons to be good candidates for Vitamin C, but Pickles were a lot more common in the north land.

thank you.
Another great video man
thanks pard, hope you are doing well.
That thing's got one hell of a good suppressor on it!
It is louder in person… but it is firing cowboy loads. The originals would have been black powder. 1880s version used rifle cartridges.
The Irish Brigade 69. Thanks for showing this…and reenactors, thanks for honoring all who fought and those who fell, giving the last full measure of devotion.
Fun fact the unit shown in the beginning of the video is actually the 69th PVI the unit I’m in we typically get confused with the Irish brigade or the 69th new york
@@Privateprairiedog69PA thanks for the correction.
@@jimreilly917I wasn’t trying to be a dick or anything
@@Privateprairiedog69PA I know…I was being genuine. I’m a history nut and love to learn new things. Not someone who gets butthurt when introduced to new (to me) facts.
Participated at an event in Long Beach, CA few years back that use one of these and it was quite a thrill.
a lot of the fun for me was seeing these as a kid on old westerns movies, perhpas today more common in video games.
That is terrifying to be around now. I imagine it was so much worse for those that faced it in the 1860s.
very true pard

Is this an event you guys do every year? Or just this year? These videos were a fun watch.
Yes Sir! this is one of 2 fundraisers the Battery attends each year - similar format for both - lots of fun and also enables the group to properly maintain gear. thanks for watching.
Nice video man. Liked!

Interesting the Amish came by
I though the same pard .. I'm not familiar with the Amish stance on firearms.

you are correct... this video is for you Life fire of the Battery's 10 pound Parrott rifled guns - distances is about 900 yards. th-cam.com/video/i7x3VxW0uGw/w-d-xo.html
I was on an NPS gun crew years ago. We pulled the lanyard down and behind us while turned away.
each gun crew or group does have a different method and what you described above would be safer (for the lanyard flying back at you). I imagine that the park services put emphasis on safety. THANKS pard for the comment --LT
@@1stminnsharpshooters341 I forget what ordnance manual we were going by, but we were doing living history, so no modern eye pro. Explains it. Fine looking piece. TLC as it should be.
