Listeners to our last podcast enjoyed a discussion about 19th Century Seminole Men's Clothing – and what an enterprise it is to recreate them. Unfortunately, the 1991 spiral-bound book is out of print and hard to obtain. That is, until now. Enter living history enthusiast and researcher James Flaherty. Jim is a friend of the key individuals behind the Seminole Men's clothing book – Rick Obermeyer and Pete Thompson. He has attended and participated in various Seminole War reenactments and events since the 1980s. Jim is also an artisan who hand crafts period accoutrements, leather items and clothing. Hence, Jim's new book is Seminole Wars-era Clothing. He and fellow historical enthusiasts penned entries featuring everything one needs to know about crafting period-appropriate clothing. This includes Seminole men and women; American civilian men and women; and military service members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Marine Corps. Jim tells why he wrote this book and why this book needed to be written. He dedicates it to living history reenactors, hobbyists, and students of the trade. But any general reader will find it fascinating how he takes one on a journey from written accounts and painted images to obtaining materials and piecing together the clothing items one by one. Jim Flaherty is a member of the Loxahatchee Battlefield Preservationists, the Seminole Wars Foundation, the Dade Battlefield Society, and the Morse Telegraph Club. Image captures are below.                        Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation.

When you see someone portraying a Seminole in a battle reenactment today, you can pretty much rest assured that the attire is authentic if not original. This was not the case 30 and 40 years ago. Many had good intentions but simply got the clothing wrong. Enter Seminole reenactor Rick Obermeyer. He took both an interest and launched a campaign to portray 19th century Seminole Men's Clothing as accurately as feasible. He published selections from the top craftsman in the field for such items in 1991. It has served as handbook for Seminole reenactors ever since. Although Rick had no special academic training for the task, he did have a passionate desire to portray Seminole warriors as they presented themselves back then. Listen now as he details just how he assembled that knowledge into a simple manual of instruction.         Getting Seminole plumes and feathers right was possible because the Army acquired specimens not long after the Dade Battle. Photos courtesy Rick Obermeyer.     Although the handbook is hard to find and even then re-selling for $150 in paper copy form, the good people at Nativetech.com took Rick's book and published it in whole on line!

How do you come up with a “voice” for a historic figure who has been dead for more than 150 years, and who lived before sound recordings? What if the character was taller than you? Where do you find appropriate clothing and props when recreating a famous person from the 19th century? And why would a classically-trained performer decide to devote his career to reenacting historic figures? Those are among the topics that Hoosier History Live will explore with acclaimed, Indiana-based historic reenactor Danny Russel, who is well known for his portrayals of Abraham Lincoln, “Hoosier Poet” James Whitcomb Riley and frontiersman Daniel Boone. Danny will join Nelson for a show that “pulls back the curtain” on historic reenactors, including insights about how they develop their characters who, as in Danny's case, have appeared at festivals, schools, museums, bicentennial galas, historic homes, parks and an array of other sites and events across the country.

So they aren't technically pirates - they are state-sanctioned, honest-to-goodness privateers! Auditioning for Renaissance faires How one becomes a chanteyman on a tall ship Sharing resources and creating new ones helps us grow and also become known for what it is we do Literally learning the ropes Historical reenacting, Renn Faires, and the like are SO influential in the lives of those they touch - especially little kids First person reenacting, third person reenacting, historical interpretation, experimental archaeology, etc Presenting different levels of information / nerdery depending on our audiences The crazy distances we commit to traveling regularly to pursue amazing opportunities The questions people ask reenactors, man. The Maker community - its culture, its DIY and scavenger connections, and its breadth Physical notebooks - you need one. Or maybe you need to take audio notes. Or at least put your notebook app on your phone's home screen. Being in high school drama club / musicals Paracord bracelets Why Frenetic Ferret? Ska music, black and white checkerboard, and the two-tone movement The ongoing question of to what degree we make our passion our way of earning a living, and what it takes (/would take) to make it so Viable does not equal enjoyable, and successful does not mean money-making. VAN FULL OF PIRATES - the Billy Bowlegs Pirate Invasion and Downtown Party (may we say Pirate Festival???) of Fort Walton Beach, FL Press releases are so valuable.
