Back from Bent’s Fort!!!

[FiremanBrad]

Myself and 4 of my Pards were juried in and vetted for the Sante Fe Trail Assn 200th anniversary of the Sante Fe Trail. We got to do a first person interpretation of Traders out of Arrow Rock, Mo. for the past 4 days! We got to meet and hang out with some of the best Living Historians on the planet, ate good food, educated the public, and had a total blast!!!
Here’s a bunch of pics!!!

Brad, this is simply outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos. It is clear your outfit put a great deal of thought and research into your collective impression.
The heavy-set gentleman in the last batch of photos with the bald head, spectacles and bushy side whiskers looks like he just stepped out of a Dickens novel.
