The Army of the Southwest is a group of Iowa Civil War Reenactors dedicated to educating people of all ages about the Civil War through reenactments, shool programs, and historical events. Our 40+ members come from throughout southwest Iowa . The unit consists of Confederate and Union infantry, artillery, and cavalry. In addition we have a strong group of period civilians.
Spring is approaching and a good time to refresh those drill habits! Click on Infantry Drill to see our approach. Have a great reenactment season and check our activities/events schedule for 2013 (the tab in left column).
Look here for some outstanding photos of the 3rd IA Lt. Field Artillery in action with night firing.

Our own John Fitzsimmons, 9th KY Vol Inf, is a great battlefield artist. View a couple of his drawings here or under the Event Photos tab in left column(more to follow).
