Parrott Rifle Our Artillery impression is comprised of members of the Reenactors of the American Civil War, which is based in the Northern California area. Our impression is a family oriented one, that reenacts the period of the American Civil War at our west coast events. Each Battery takes great pride in its impression, and has spent many hours constructing the many period boxes, ammo dump, and all of the equipment that you would normally find in an Artillery camp of 1863. The planned expansion of the 1st Ohio Light Artillery has created the need for additional recruits in the unit to man the guns. The unit is now accepting applications for membership.
All recruits are cross trained on all positions of the gun.
