We were a group of men that shared a passionate interest in authentic, American Civil War reenacting. We were from the midwest region of the U.S.; most from the great state of Ohio. Like other authentic reenacting units, we previously participated in "not so authentic" units and decided we wanted to get the most out of it. We felt we owed it to the men of the blue and gray to portray their histories as accurate as possible. We were also a participating member of the George H. Thomas' Invincibles, a conglomerate of like messes of which large, authentic companies can be drawn from. Interested parties for the Buckeye Mess should look over this website to get a good idea of what we were all about.
