Army of Northern Virginia
Our love for history and reliving it runs deep. From the voluminous information from our captain, Mike Mitchell, 1st Sargent Tim Lauver, and all the other Privates, this company knows the Civil War.
We are a very family oriented outfit. We like to get away from the daily grind and the drama of everyday life and relive one of the most compelling times in U.S. history.
So come along if you like adventure, learning, and living in the 1800's and tons of family fun. We'll see you in the field!
The 13th Virginia Co. H was formed on April 19, 1861, in response to the United States government's attack on Fort Sumter and President Lincoln's subsequent call for an army of troops to invade the South. Co. H was based out of Winchester, located in Frederick County, Virginia. The unit was known by two nicknames: The Fort Loudoun Guards and The Winchester Boomerangs.
Co. H was then mustered into service with other companies to form the 13th Virginia Volunteer Infantry.
Leaders of Company H included:
Captain Samuel D. Buck
Captain William H. Harrison
Captain Lewis N. Huck
and
Captain William H. Sherer
