Hey Blackjohn....habe ye ever got to "Experientalist" the stocks???

Guys- You do NOT have to have a special license ot own, sell, possess a reproduction flintlock or caplock firearm (they fall into the Antique firearm rule pre 1898) That's why, you can buy them through the mail and do not have to have a FFL to purchase them. As for black powder... you can buy that at any store that carries it....That being said, some stores refuse to carry it, because the feds make them purchase an entirely seperrate license to carry/sell BP, that's why you'll see most sporting goods places carrying Goex, or something similar, and NOT BP. Filling the venthole on a working firelock just turned that $200 to $300 dollar firearm into a paperweight, you'd have been MUCH better off with a replica, if in fact you did have a working firelock. always check your local state laws before ordering/buying that new pistol... in some states it may indeed be cheaper in the long run to have a non-firing replica. -Redhand

Christine.... Try Townsend, or one of the other "colonial" era suttlers... they usually carry stripped hose/stockings...not sure if they'll be "thigh high" or not. These won't be "bedroom" garb, but they'll adapt, I suppose. -Redhand

Just saw this thread...Nice work everybody! Josh, like yer painting, very cool. Lady Barbossa....yer pencils ar excellent!, they are really loose and very well done. They remind me of Ben Stahl's work....he was one of the artists/instructors who wrote the Famous Artists corrospondence course books in the 50s and 60s. Nice stuff! Here's a link to my website as well as to my photobucket site, where I keep a lot of sketches and other items. jnp63 photo album - Photobucket.com www.prechtelfineart.com -Redhand

Stirling- Exacxtly as Daniel describes, the Calvenists believed in predestination, in example: Jusdas was predestined to betray christ.The puratins were so busy trying to PREVENT sin, arther than focusing on having your sins forgiven, as Daniel previously described. The irony of their religious sect is that they came over from Holland to escape the persecution from the church in England, only to Immediately start persecuting the indians, and anybody else they saw, that didn't agree with their moral compass. The Moravians, weren't to far away from getting here, 1730s I think. I believe the first 1st of what they called the "Great Awakenings"... of the revivalist movements, was around 1710 maybe...possibly a little aerlier, there was also one in the 1740s. I believe Dr. Byrd tells a rather droll tale of a traveling experience with a "new ager" during one of his travels. THAT is a great book....I believe it's titled Colonial American Travel Narratives, it's available through peguine books, they have a fair amount of 1st person accounts in print. -Redhand

Oh you want to talk PYRATES....then just start a list of 17th & 18th century Bay colony BUSSINESS MEN!! Thery were notorious even in THEIR day as pirates! -Redhand

I believe they have pretty much disproved the mold/bacterial theory, on grounds I believe that it would have been totally inedible. The lady author who wrote "In the Devil's Snare" makes a very strong argument for the "indian" theory. See my above statement. -Redhand

Kass, Jib- The New Engald witch hunts, were a mix of land and property grabs, as well as a convenient excuse to remove a disagreeable neighbor, or other "unsavory" person from the town/countryside. The catalyst for the whole thing derives not from tainted grain, but from the Native indians....or rather the puratin's fears there of. three of four of the girls in the original group that started the Salem hysteria, were refugees from the frontier. The puratins had a STRONG fear of the indians being satan's minions....well they had strong fears about LOTS of stuff in the new world. They did a lot of tranferrence of fears, to things and people around them. The Mather brothers really did an excellent job of fueling the fire with their "fears". A really good book that addresses this is called "In the Devil's Snare" ....written by a woman who's name eludes me at present. A very interesting subject tho. -Redhand

Joshua- Too me it sounds like he's confusing Light Bob caps with something else....I've never heard of any sailors or Marines wearing a leather jockey style helmut... but then I certainly haven't read EVERYTHING! Interesting quote about the hair....sounds almost like a Hessian....REALLY long que....I suppose on long tedious voyages, one must have had to of had some diversion. Also the quote about the petticoat breeches is interesting... the turning them 'round bit...waste not...want not I suppose. Thanks for posting that. -Redhand
