Mike Lask’s Selected Rants And Other Ravings

In my second installment of less well-known military things of note, I bring you one of my favorites from the American Civil War: Berdan’s Sharpshooters. Actually, these Special Forces are rather familiar to Civil War nuts like me but probably unknown to just about everyone else.

The following link is to part of a much larger site, Company "C", 2nd Regiment, Berdan’s United States Sharpshooters. They are a re-enacting unit and their site has a little treasure trove of historical information. You can access the rest by simply going to their home page.
