Welcome from your neighbor to the North! You picked a good first rendezvous to get some ideas about what you want to portray.

Welcome from across the mighty Mo. I got bit at fort DeChartre as well. Hunt and learn on the .45 but start savin your pennies for a french trade smoothie or a fusil de chasse if you want to do the courer de bois bit. Plenty of great places to start with a kit. try Track of the wolf or Pecatonica river longrifle supply for a good beginners kit.

I would recomend going to Track of the Wolf website. they have several books for sale that will help you to develop your courier de bois persona. Books on weapons, accoutrments, clothing, sundries, etc. I own several and all are full of great reading.
