    Wanna Be on the January Cover of the AC?

    Greetings Everyone:

    Very soon, the New Year will be upon us. So, the question is, "Do You Wanna Be on the January 2009 Cover of the Authentic Campaigner?"

    We are looking for images that best-exemplify the look of the authentic living historian. Images taken with period technology only are required (wet plate, pencil drawing, field sketches, etc.) Please refrain from submitting an image that you have submitted within the last year. We are continuously looking for fresh images and have a few days to gather the candidates. Thanks!

    Submission Guidelines:

    1) We will accept the first ten image submissions only. The thread will be closed after the tenth image is submitted, and any images submitted after the tenth will be deleted from the thread.

    2) Once we have ten images, the staff will select the final three. The final three will then be put up for a general vote to the membership of the forum. The winning image will be placed on the front "cover" of the web site for one month.

    3) Make sure and attach the photo to your post. If necessary, we will crop the photo for the best fit.

    4) The Moderators/Administrators reserve the right to remove any submittals that they feel don't meet the standards of the Authentic Campaigner.

    Now, let's see your best images!

      Here is one we took the other week at Fort McAllister in Georgia. It does not recreate any specific image however is in the style of many period pictures I have seen through the years. The image itself was made by Wendell Decker.

            My wife Jill and I at Shakertown 2008. Image by Bob Szabo. I thought I'd try to get a Civilian Image in the running this time.

                      he attached image is one I hope you all will take into consideration. Featured in the image is the Missoura Shirkers, on the porch of a historic house on the battle field of Prairie Grove, AR. The image was captured by Robert Szabo.

                        Wanted.

                        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.
