I will tell about each reenactment in some detail.
Angus McClain.
He was a militia agent and showed us what the militia would carry. He said that they would carry a tomahawk which you didn't throw. Also you would carry to 3 to 4 knives of different purposes. Big and small. They carried short swords mostly the officers. British Ga-goons or pistols. Lots of them because they weren't easy to load. A vessel to cook food and drinks. It was copper with tin lining to keep food from poisoning. They also held a rifle and a journal.
Joseph O'Fallon
Joseph was a fur trader. He traded with Indians to get fur. Each fur weighed about 1 pound. One standard fur pack was 90 pounds. Beaver hide is the best for it is good for hats. He wore sash so his guts didn't get tangled. He was a patriot.
Catherine Dublin
Leon Dublin
Catherine was a house wife and Leon was a linen merchant. They are patriots for it would be bad for business if not because the patriots wouldn't want to buy. Boys and girls wore the same thing until they were potty trained. Then the boys would go to there father and the girl would be like other girls. The boys would wear dresses with laces on the back were the parents could hold on to them to keep them from wondering.
Jeanette Lindale
She was a weaver or spinner. at age 2 to 3 you were given a top. Once you figured out how to use it you would have to make your own socks. Spinning wheels were expensive. Short fibers are itchy. If wool is itchy it can depend on bread, how it was cleaned, and if they used chemicals.
Mrs.Maclean
She is a innkeeper. She has a inn that is 2 story's high with the rooms on the second floor. On the first there is a place for the women, a kitchen and the tavern or pub. She has wooden shoes for when it is wet. She has a clan pin for the family Maclean. She listens for criminals so she can tell the town fathers.

Why Every one Should Have A Historical Reenactment.
Everyone should have a historical reenactment because it shows what it would be like in there time. It is how they thought of the king and what they did. If they cared who won or if they anted someone destroyed.
