Don’t forget to mark your calendars. \nWhat is an 18th Century Market Fair?\nAmerican colonial times\, by definition were pre 18th century. This was literally when there were American colonies\, later becoming states. The Colonial Market Fair would then by that same definition be an 18th Century Market Fair. The early market fairs in the first settlements\, such as Jamestown and Williamsburg\, were allowed and regulated by law. The Williamsburg digital library has a lengthy article written in 1955\,\nEighteenth Century Fairs by Mary R. M. Goodwin that represents a collection of these early laws\, showing the transition of the earliest fairs to more and less regulated fairs\, that could be said are the colonial\, eastern version of what would become the Rocky Mountain fur trade and western redezvous between 1823 and 1840. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read more”]\nThe colonial fair was first and foremost a market “for the sale and vending of all manner of cattle\, victuals\, provisions\, goods\, wares\, and merchandizes.” Prizes\, “or bounties\,” were sometimes offered for the best stock and poultry. The fair was also a place where men met to make and pay debts. Land\, houses\, storehouses\, and personal property were offered for sale at fairs – privately and by public auction. Occasionally\, a lottery was drawn at a fair. \nA controlling idea regarding the earliest 18th century market fairs seems to be to maintain the control that England had on the flow and taxing of manufactured goods into America. Ultimately this would fail as America was too large and growing larger. Colonial boycotts of these finished English controlled goods (even tea which though not made in England was controlled by them) led to the development of early American manufacturing efforts. It has interesting ties now to contemporary issues in recent decades that has seen for the first time since these early colonial days\, a net outflow of American manufacturing capacity.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the annual Bucksnort Longhunters 18th Century Market Fair in Elizabethtown\, Kentucky. \nTags: Bucksnort Longhunters 18th Century Market Fair\, Bucksnort Longhunters Colonial Market Fair\, Colonial Market Fair\, 18th Century Market Fair \nView other Early American Market Fairs

William S. Foster and his 430 men. During the Second Seminole War the purpose of Fort Foster was to defend the bridge crossing at the Hillsborough River and act as a resupply point for the soldiers in the field. The Fort Foster was garrisoned on and off from December\, 1836 – April\, 1838. Although the fort was attacked on several occasions\, the worst attack occurred in February 1836\, when a small group of Seminoles attempted to set fire to the bridge. The attempt was thwarted by aggressive musket and cannon fire from the fifty or so U.S. Navy sailors and the 20 artillery men within the fort. Today\, park staff and reenactors provide living history demonstrations of life at Fort Foster. Each year\, the site offers two living history events: Fort Foster Rendezvous in January\, and the Candlelight Experience at Fort Foster in December. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Foster Rendezvous at Fort Foster State Historic Site in Thonotosassa\, Florida (generally on the last weekend of January). \nTags: Fort Foster Rendezvous\, Florida Mountain Man Rendezvous\, Florida Rendezvous \nView other Buckskinner Rendezvous

Cooper pursue roughly 9\,000 Unionist civilians led by Opothleyahola\, a famous Upper Creek leader. These civilians were attempting to avoid an alliance with the Confederacy and ultimately chose to flee to the protection of Union forces in Kansas. Colonel Cooper set out on November 19\, 1861 in an attempt to coerce Opothleyahola into submission. Each February\, the town of Yale comes alive with the Battle of Round Mountain Re-enactment. \nFor More Information\nSuttlers: 918-519-7071 or 405-455-2248; School Days: 918-855-2438\nEmail: southwind7307344@yahoo.com \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment in February in Yale\, Oklahoma. \nTags: Battle of Round Mountain Reenactment\, Battle of Round Mountain Civil War Reenactment\, Oklahoma Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

The fort closes at 5:00 p.m. \nAdmission Fees:\n$6.00* per vehicle. Limit 2-8 people per vehicle.\n$2.00* Pedestrians\, bicyclists\, extra passengers\, passengers in vehicle with holder of Annual Individual Entrance Pass.\n$4.00* Single-occupant vehicle or motorcycle.\n* Plus $.50 per person Monroe County Surcharge. \nHistory of Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\nSpanish explorers first surveyed the island of Key West in 1513. After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

Sponsored by Forsythe’s Rifles\, Prescott and Ogdensburg will commemorate the War of 1812 Battle of Ogdensburg with activities in both communities over the weekend. This will be an expanded re-enactment\, as thrilling as the original battle\, only safer. On Saturday afternoon\, the Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment will take place along the streets\, following a similar route of the Anglo-Canadian army in 1813 as it fought toward the fort on Lighthouse Point. \n\nBattle of Ogdensburg Reenactment\nWatch as the British once again charge down the streets of Ogdensburg as militia and regular soldiers commanded by Major Benjamin Forsyth stage their last and ultimately failed attempt to repel the redcoats from the city. \nWearing full winter gear and braving the bitter cold\, the 7/60th will participate in the annual Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment event by fighting on the same ground contested two centuries ago. For two nights the group will be quartered in the barracks at Fort Wellington National Historic Site in Prescott\, Ontario\, and will cross the St. Lawrence River (albeit by car and bridge) during the days to participate in the battles. \nThe first battle reenactment will be held in the streets of downtown Ogdensburg with a special emphasis on the last stand of St. Lawrence County Sheriff Joseph York\, a member of the local militia who attempted to single-handedly repel the British at the intersection of State and Ford streets. When the British spotted Mr. York alone in the streets\, their officers commanded the soldiers not to fire. Regarding him as “too brave to kill\,” the British captured him instead. The rest of the militia was either killed\, captured or melted back into the community. \nOn Sunday the action will move to Lighthouse Point\, where a fierce battle was fought that forced troops commanded by Major Forsyth to retreat to Sackets Harbor. The battle at Lighthouse Point saw hundreds of British soldiers cross the frozen St. Lawrence River from Prescott\, Ontario\, to surround the Americans. \nBesides the battles there will be a number of other activities for children and adults during the reenactment. \nSchedule (Tentative) \nSaturday – The return of the invasion of the British to Ogdensburg in 1813. \n10:00 am to 4:00 pm – Open house at the AmVets Lodge\, 215 Ford Street featuring historical displays\, lectures\, and refreshments. \n11:00 am War of 1812 presentation \n1:30 pm – Battle Reenactment: Downtown Ogdensburg will once again erupt with musket and cannon fire at the reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg on the very places it was fought 200+ years ago. \n3:00 pm – English country dance demonstration at the National Guard Armory. \n7:30 pm – If you enjoyed the demonstration get into the action at the\, English country dance Winter Ball at the Am-Vets on Ford Street. \nSunday\n10:30 am – Wreath laying at Ogdensburg cemetery. \n1:30 pm – Battle Reenactment: Conclusive reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg at Van Reselaer Point (Lighthouse Point) the former site of Fort De La Peesentation\, also known as Fort Oswegatchie. \nLocation\nFort de La Présentation\n323 Washington Street\nOgdensburg\, NY 13669 \nFor more information: tcryderman1@twcny.rr.com \nAbout the Battle of Ogdensburg\nOn 22 February 1813 the British garrison of Prescott\, Upper Canada launched a surprise assault across the frozen St. Lawrence River against the opposite American post at Ogdensburg\, New York. Catching the Americans unprepared by first pretending to drill upon the ice (a frequent practice in winter)\, the mixed force of British regulars and Canadian militia achieved a decisive victory\, eliminating the American military presence in the town and the threat they posed to the British supply route along the St. Lawrence since the beginning of the War of 1812. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment in Ogdensburg\, New York. \nTags: Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment\, War of 1812 Reenactment\, Battle of Ogdensburg Reenactment \nView other War of 1812 Encampments & Reenactments
