: just wanted to say hi.
: my name's Bob. i live in Utica, NY (Mowhawk Valley).
: i've always been a history buff, but wasn't all that interested in American history beyond the superficial until i saw LOTM in the theater.
: for the last 10 years i've been doing medieval reenactment (society for creative anachronism), and have gone about as far as i care to with that right now.
: this summer i plan on attending some F&I War events. Fort Stanwix is about 15 min. away and they host some events. i'll be starting with the '1750's longhunter' thing for a nice generic start.
: i guess what i'm saying is that i was deeply inspired by LOTM and that now i have an interest in my local/state history, as well as pre-Rev reenactment. if there happens to be anyone in my area with similar interests here, i'd love to hear from you.
: take care,
: bob

Well, howdy right back to ya, Bob.
If you're ever as far south as Alabama, Fort Toulouse has a couple of events covering the F & I era, one in November and another in April.
