Sherman’s Bastards partook in the raising of a company portraying the 23rd Illinois Militia of Mulligan’s Irish Brigade as they were 1861 at the battle of Lexington, Missouri. The group along with the 13th Missouri fought for control of the original Anderson House, with possession going back and forth several times throughout the battle with the Missouri State Guard. Despite the heat and weather, our boys toughed it out. If this is the kind of event that interests you, message us! Remembers, it’s a good day to be a bastard.
