Join us for an action-packed day at Kelly Station as we welcome the 49th Regiment of Foot and the Glengarry Light Infantry for their spring training. Watch as we engage in historic live fire drills, with muskets shooting at targets, and showcase traditional blacksmithing techniques. We start the day with Peter's friend Charlie - on a successful turkey hunt to prepare a feast for our guests, ensuring no part of nature goes to waste. He also fires up the forge for the soldiers to make tent pegs. Joanne makes the meals, and cards the wool. Susanne, spins the wool, in preparation for making socks for the troops.
As the soldiers practice their drills and march in formation, we delve into the craftsmanship of the 1700s with a demonstration on forging tools. Witness the creation of authentic period pieces and get a glimpse of daily life for soldiers and settlers alike. Finally everyone pitches in to move logs into position for continuing the work on the palisade This immersive experience brings history to life, blending education with hands-on activities. Don't miss out on this unique adventure!

Former US Navy here. In the 1750's, the Union Flag was called a jack only when it was flown at the bowsprit of British naval vessels, but it was commonly called the Union Jack by the late 1700's. Great channel, excellent history and I truly appreciate your hard work!!!

@larryreese6146 Месяц назад

Never really understood the reasons for close order drill until I read "A DEVIL OF A WHIPPING" about the Battlevof Cowpens in the Revolutionary War. Seems a misunderstood command could either make or break a battle. In the case of this battle the American regulars misunderstood a command and thought there was a retreat. They left the position in good order and formed up on the next hill. The Brits thought they had them and broke rank to chase them only to find them perfectly formed and firing into their lines. At which some of the British soldiers dropped their weapons and fell to their knees in shock. At which the American foot and the American cavalry charged. There was a total route. I believe if Morgan had been more senior in command and the Americans had been better trained earlier the Revolution might not have dragged on as long as it did.

@TheWoodlandEscape Месяц назад

You raise a valid point. In modern warfare it is perhaps not as important, but in Napoleonic warfare it was crucial.

@larryreese6146 Месяц назад

@TheWoodlandEscape yes, after some training the American regulars could stand toe to toe with the British. Both Morgan and Washington valued trained disciplined soldiers but Morgan knew very well how to use militia too. He also knew something about men's endurance. He put every strain he could think of on Tarletans men and then chose his own ground when the time was right and he had them sufficiently worn down. He also had gauged Tarlton right too. That Morgan was a wise old fox and knew what he was about.

My grandparents had a similar piece that has hung on the wall of their 19th century home since I was a child, and I was always told it was part of a horse yoke.
