    Dram?

    Hmmmm... these are all weights! I thought a dram was a liquid measure... ie... "Dram Glass", "Give the Fiddler a Dram", etc.??? Jim aka kiltiemon (then there's the "Gill") :)

    Rum...the PC libation. What do y'all recommend?

    Sir... The ONLY Rum to drink is (if you can find it) Appleton Black Rum. The distillery is period correct (goes back prior to the war of the american rebellion), and the cane is grown on the same fields as it was originally. The rum is dark enough to form a crust on chunks of ice placed...

    May I Have This Dance?

    Is there a website up for the Yorktown debacle reenacment, for mid-october, 2006 yet? I've looked all over and cannot find anything really dedicated to it. It's a thousand miles from where I live and we do lose this one, but at least it'll be cool enough! Looking forward to seeing many of you...

    I'm not really certain what this "Netflix" is but who can forget the following: "Sweet Liberty" with Alan Alda... "I've got this thing I do with a spontoon?!!!" "America" - W.D. (or is it D.W.) Griffith 1924ish, silent. Great cameos by the "White Persion Cat" that appears more often than some...

    What happened to La Pelletrie?

    If I'm thinking of the same person, I thought he had died quite a few years ago... was his wife taking over the business? I can't remember exactly what the situation was. Jim aka kiltiemon

    Hammock Question

    Don't know about documentation in Texas, but hammocks were quite "old hat" in the world's navies. Even older in the Carribbean among the natives. I think you could certainly claim knowlege and prior exposure to hammocks. Would your charactor have had the ability to carry a hammock? It seems...

    Anyone Here Going to Charleston???

    Mine Arse on a Bandbox... Such Impudence!!! "For Moultrie", Indeed! (leave it to the Jonathans to name a mudpile after a "Willie") :shocking: For King and Country, it is. Indeed! For the Protection and Order of British Rule from the tip of East Florida to the Borders of Virginia! You Sir...

    The Smithsonian adventure.......

    How curious that a forum of history enthusiasts seems to forget that it was a hodge-podge of radical liberals, law-making judges, and trial lawyers who founded this country and gave us all the right (hopefully maintained, though my brown bess is no match for an apache helicopter)to maintain our...

    Patching Cannon Balls

    I believe hot shot WAS used in ship to ship bombardment. See "Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War 1600-1815" (can't give you the publisher, but I'm certain someone here can). Book has picture and info on a copper flush toilet circ. 1770's for shipboard use as well!!! Jim

    The Smithsonian adventure.......

    I believe Russell Means prefers to be called "indian" or "American", although he is (as am I and very likely, yourself as well), also a "native" American! And... as far as your experience with the response toward weaponry in the Smithsonian (a very liberal donation by Mr. Smithson, don't you...

    Central Georgia

    Greybeard, Welcome! Come over to the 225th Anniversary of the Seige of Charleston next month (may 14-16, IIRC), Scout out the British Camp (why would one want to go anywhere else!), and say hello to the 42 Rgt. of Foot. Both the Lights and the Lt. Col's Company will be there and we'll get you...

    Places To See in North Carolina?

    Guilford Courthouse NHP is excellent. A great reenactment as well, and heartily recommend it! See the adjacent Tannenbaum Park (county or city) with the Hoskins house and related buildings, museum, visitor's center, etc. There's a mill outside of Greensboro where Lord Cornwallis "got his corn...
