Duty is, then, the sublimest word in our language.Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less. -Col. Robert E.Lee, Superintendent of USMA West Point, 1852
All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.
I do Civil War of Course impressions for both sides. In my recent employment I did French and Indian and American War of Independence, and have a passable 18th century British colonial frontier working class
/Ranger impression. I also do War with Spain and have a volunteer impression and a Pre-war National Guard uniform.

I'm new to Civil War and this forum, so I figured this was as good a place as any to introduce myself.
I come out of 18th century reenacting in which I have many many different impressions including a few different British Army impressions from the 1773-1780 period, numerous continental soldiers impressions from the 1775-1777 period and a variety of different seven years war impressions including a member of a ranging company on the New York frontier and Massachusetts Provincial soldier from the 1755-1760 period.
By day I am a historic trades interpreter at Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York where I make handmade shoes and accouterments for our interpretive staff.

I've been doing living history for about 28 years (since Dad started with me when I was 8) so I've got a few:
-Shawnee mixed-blood warrior in the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, late 18th/early 19th century Indian Wars, War of 1812 (our ancestors are Shawnee that remained in Ohio and avoided the Indian Removal of the 1830s)
-Old Northwest Territory Longhunter
-Indiana Territorial Mounted Ranger, 1807-1813
-1870s/1880s Cowhand
-Roosevelt's Rough Riders (in development)
-Veteran of Ohio National Guard Cavalry service on the Mexican Border and 135th Field Artillery in France in WWI
-Dust Bowl Farmer
-Lt. James J. Rorimer, WWII Monuments Man
Civil War is actually my most recent development-I can kinda do a Loyal Shawnee irregular cavalryman, and I am putting together a Morgan's Raider impression for Civil War Day at the Cincinnati History Museum June 14th; research for that is what brought me to this site.
