While the telegraph line between Zollicoffer and their web site is still cut (must be Union Calvary raiding the area) the line between Zollicoffer and Hardtack and Hard Times is up and running with news of bounties for the November 6-8 event.

According to the folks at Zollicoffer the bounties are as follows.

INFANTRY-For Each Union Infantry Company that Fields 10 musket bearing soldiers, and fights both days, a $50.00 bounty will be paid. Union Infantry companies may combine to qualify for the bounty. How you spit it is up to you.

CAVALRY-For each mounted cavalryman that fights both days, a $10.00 bounty will be paid. Cavalry is capped at a maximum of 30 troopers. All cavalry troopers must be willing to galvanize.

ARTILLERY-The first 4 full-scale & fully manned cannons that register and fight both days will be paid a $100.00 bounty. We would like at least 2 full scale Mountain Howitzers. All artillery soldiers must be willing to galvanize.

THE FINE PRINT-As noted above, Cavalry and Artillery crews must prepare to galvanize. Each Artillery piece must be adequately manned so it is functional for both days' battles. Skirmish at Zollicoffer reserves the right to issue additional bounties beyond those listed above.

So put on the blue suit, saddle the horses or limber the cannons and head to Bluff City Tennessee November 6-8 for the Skirmish at Zollicoffer.
