I would recommend this to anyone who can make it. For those of you who may not know, Fort Toulouse is a reconstructed French fort from the early to mid eighteenth century and manned by the compagnies franches de la marine and some milice. There is also an Indian village near it, a few really fine merchants, and enough camping space where you can camp as primitive as you like and never see another person! Or your group can camp as a unit. There is also a modern area which will accomodate a LOT of the 21st century variety of campers, but is separate from the other areas. Frontier Days in November is a circus, but the April encampment is much smaller, and you can get more of a eighteenth century experience, especially in the fort at night, and around the Indian camp. And we were treated very well (which equals good food, lots of it, and beverages to match). This is not, I repeat not, Frontier days. I went through 40 rounds of cartridges in the battles and could have fired more if I had had them. As I guess you can tell, I had a really great time. We were short on British intruders (of which I am one), so it would be nice to have a few more next year. Maybe even some from the Marion, NC area.
