I am just beginning my involvement in living history / re-enactment. My specific interest is in my 5th-great-grandfather James Dutton, Jr. who died October, 1756 in or near Fort William Henry while in service as a Centinel with Massachusetts Provincial troops.
I am looking for good sources of authentic Provincial uniforms of that period. I have done the research to know what I want, but don't have the time or talent to make everything myself.

There is a recreated Mass(Bagleys IIRC)F&I unit based in the midwest. While the HQ, for the unit is North of Grayling Mich, I know they have members in Central Oh and other parts of the midwest.

| Thanks for the tip. I'll follow up. (BTW, yes, I've seen combat, and not on TV or re-enacted.) |

| Hi, Seth: I understood your sig as a quote, although I didn't recognize the source immediately. I was just taking it literally, as a question -- answering by way of a partial introduction. Oh, and I haven't had much luck tracking down the Bagley living history unit, on line. I am moderately familiar with the original regiment's history, although I have no relatives who served in it (that I know of). |

| Middle of target. Thank you! Ironically, this unit's location puts them right on the road from where I live to my Mom's house in Commerce, Michigan. I probably drive within a few miles of "Fort Bagley". Don't know why a Google search didn't find the site, but no matter. I appreciate the help. |
