Authorship: These Standards were written by Kevin O’Beirne of the Columbia Rifles.

Origins: These Standards were developed largely from the “Potomac Legion Military Guidelines”, which were adapted from military guidelines originally prepared for the Eastern Campaigners’ Alliance (April, 2000; principal author: J. Tobey). Portions of the Columbia Rifles’ Authenticity Standards (January, 2002 edition; principal authors: K. O’Beirne, J. Tobey, J. Henion) and the Eastern Campaigners’ Alliance Event Standards (April, 2000; principal author: K. O’Beirne) were also incorporated into these Standards.  Ammunition Standards are by Jeff Henion of the Columbia Rifles.  Much of the cavalry/mounted courier portion of these Standards was based on information provided by Mike Ventura of the Critter Company.
