Captain Shackelford's Company of
Welcome to the Homepage of Captain Shackelford’s Company of
Alabama Red Rovers. The Alabama Red Rovers is a very specialized impression in
the community of Texas Revolution reenacting. It is our hope that this site has
a good mix of Historical evidence on the original company of Alabama Red Rovers
as well as pertinent information on portrayal of a mid-19th Century
Military Company and our hobby of Reenacting.
We are an organization of progressive Texas War of Independence
living historians that represent the volunteers that came from the Northern
Alabama communities of Courtland and Tuscumbia to aid in the fight for Texas
Independence in which most would share later in the fate of the rest of
Fannin's Command. The organization is
not limited to just the impression of the Alabama Red Rovers, but many members
interpret other time periods and impressions.
Living History is presented in the forms of Battle Reenactments, Company
Drills, School Demonstrations, Parades, Local Events and Festivals.
If you have any questions, are a descendant of these
original brave Alabamians, or would like to try your hand at the Historical
Reenacting please feel free to contact us.
