First Cavalry Reenactors Rise in Nebraska Heritage
Nebraska's First Cavalry reenactment unit, the First Nebraska Veteran Volunteer Cavalry, grows to three members under Capt. Tom Kay and Lt. James Cooper. They aim to honor Civil War era service from Florence to Julesburg, emphasize authentic gear without full compliance, and seek parades, color guards, and state fair encampments while stressing morale support from the Nebraska National Guard.
