    Lewis and Clark

    Some here may be aware of this, others may not. I learned this morning of a website about the Lewis and Clark Expedition that has about everything written bye Lewis, Clark, and anyone else in the expedition that wrote anything about it. Google Moulton's Journals of the Lewis and Clark...

    No reenactments at Ticonderoga this year?

    I just checked Fort Ti's website, and there is no F&I nor Rev War reenactments listed. Anyone know what is going on? I have enjoyed going to them for years and would hate to learn they are not doing them anymore.

    the price of a NYS muzzleloading stamp

    I went to get my license this morning, and just about died from shock. The regular big game/small game combo is now $29, and the muzzleloading stamp was $21. Unfortunately, I didn't go for the muzzleloading stamp. I just didn't have the money. I wonder how many other guys aren't going for it...

    Fort Ticonderoga

    who is going to the F&I event at Fort Ti this weekend? Hopefully it will be drier than last year. I will be going up Saturday morning to to spend the day with my son and one of his friends. Hopefully my dad will make it too. He took me there when I was a kid, and my son is only 7 and really...

    The Comanche Empire

    I am about a quarter through the book "The Comanche Empire" by Pekka Hemalainen. It is a fascinating account of the rise of the Comanche Nation, and how they established hegemony over the southern plains. While I have always known of the Comanche's prowess on the battlefield, the book also...

    rapid reloading

    I just finished Belue's Hunters of Kentucky (I hope this is the correct forum). In it Belue claims that Lewis Wetzel could load and fire his flintlock (he doesnt's say if it is a rifle or smoothbore) 6 times in one minute. Now, I'm no expert. On a good day I might be able to do 2 shots a minute...

    using artists for documentation

    What is the general opinion among this forums posters regarding using certain artists, like Robert Griffing or Don Troiani, to document clothing and accoutrements? My use of these 2 gentlemen is only because they seem to be the best known historical artists out there. I know they are both widely...

    why not oak?

    Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, but I have often wondered why oak is never used for a rifle stock. It makes great furniture and to my untutored eye it seems like a dense, hard wood. Can anyone educate me?

    Redcoats

    I just finished Steven Brumwell's book Redcoats. I thought it was an outstanding book, though it dealt little with the British soldier's experience in the French and Indian War and what Brumwell referred to as the "American War". Having also read White Devil, all I can say is that I recommend...

    haversacks

    Can anyone help me with the proper linseed oil to water mixture for waterproofing cloth? The unit I reenact with, 3rd Alabama, was originally issued linseed oil treated haversacks. The sutler who makes them (Dirty Bill, I think) is no longer making them. Anyway, I tried to paint a cotton...
