The obligatory intro post

[black_hound]

 My user name is black_hound . I've been in reenacting for 25 years as an American Revolutionary War reenactor and I am in the ranks.

I am primarily an artillerist. I have been working black powder artillery for the bulk of those 25 years. When I field with artillery it is as a member of the Pennsylvania State Navy and their 3 pounder cannon, "Defiance".

I also field as a rifleman with the 5th Pennsylvania Regiment, Rifle Coy.

I'm not sure what else there is to say except I love black powder, I love live fire competitions, I love the history of the Am Rev War, and I love the hobby. Warts and all.

If you belong to a unit or civilian organization and they have a website, please post a link and I'll add it to the sidebar.

Detling is a time line event?

I'm not sure if it's a time-line, it's more of a time-bucket. It's a multi-period show where the Ancient Greeks will be camped next to the 19th Century Samurai, next to the WW2 Spitfire, next to the Saxons. There may be a logic in the layout, but I haven't noticed it myself.

Aha! Over her we call events like that 'timelines'.

One of the big ones here is Military Through the Ages (MTA) that is held every year in Jamestown. Everything from Roman Legions to Iraqi war reenactors.
