Hello:
I'm Lieutenant Colonel Robert Niepert.  I command the 3rd Battalion 5th Florida (infantry, artillery and cavalry) of Hardy's Brigade here in the state of Florida.  My Battalion portrays Confederate soldiers on Saturday and Federals on Sunday.  I write the Florida Reenactors Online News Magazine and the yearly Event Schedule for reenactments in Florida.  If you have the opportunity to attend a Civil War reenactment or Living History event, please take a few minutes to look me up and say hello.  I will be in the Confederate cavalry camp with my horse "PJ".

PJ is a Tennessee Walking Horse.
He
has been participating in Civil War battles since 2001.

He was my first reenacting
horse.  He retired from the
hobby in 2000 and now
enjoys his days in the pasture.
