Phil,
Their problem with the wood was that they weren't allowed to back their pickups up to the pile and take what they wanted for the entire weekend- apparently something that was always allowed in the past. Of course that would mean that by Friday evening there would have been no wood left at all, since it would have been hoarded by whoever had gotten there first.
You are right- there was no restriction on gathering wood as long as they took what they needed, but it meant having to carry the wood from our Divisional pile to their campsites OR wait for the Division supply wagons to bring some to their brigade HQs.
Here is something else- there was no restriction given by the property owners to burn the wood that was ready to be picked up off the ground, so they could just as easily done that.
Our thoughts on the Provost Guard is that we actually did a favor for the C.S., as it forced reenactors to react as their antecedents had done 140+ years ago...
