The 79th New York Cameron Highlanders, Company A
Civil War Re-Enactors group is looking for Recruits. The 79th fought on the Union's side during the American Civil War.

The 79th New York Cameron Highlanders, Company A,
is recruiting for enactors to bring history alive at Ft Tejon.

The 79th NY served in the Union Army during the Civil War and was made up of Scottish immigrants who were noted for their colorful attire and hard fighting, sometimes wearing trewes and Glengarries , even kilts when on parade. Many were veterans who had seen service in the Crimean War, only to return home to Scotland and fine nothing left after the clearances. Of course, their Highland spirit made them excellent soldiers. In fact, so greatly were they esteemed that General Sherman specifically requested the regiment be attached to his command.

Enactors re-enact living history at Ft. Tejon near Lebec on the third Sunday May through October.
