Fort des Chartre events tries really hard at promoting authenticity and good research. Eliza Spaulding and Narcissa Whitman were missionary wives at an actual Rocky Mountain rendezvous and dressed prim and proper for the fashion of the time. Rest were Native American women. Big difference between time periods represented at rendezvous, gatherings, rifle frolics. Would advise zeroing in on specific time and persona at events you want to attend. Lots of good references and books and magazine articles out there.
