It is more than an old-timey crafts fair, as it pays tribute to Illinois&#8217; rich frontier history. See what life was like back in the 1700s and early 1800s at the Fort Massac Encampment, which will be held at the historic site. Historical reenactors and skilled craftspeople representing French, British and Americans gather at the Encampment to demonstrate the skills and lifestyles of early residents in this area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube fusion-aligncenter\" style=\"--awb-max-width:800px;--awb-max-height:492px;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:61.5%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDGvZDqy1rs?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px;\">Fort Massac Encampment<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Battle of Drouillard Creek Reenactment<\/strong><br \/>\nVisitors to the two-day event view military camps and buck skinner lodges, craft stalls and trade blankets, and booths with period food and drinks. Battle re-enactments will again be held in the valley area, which Fort Massac Site Superintendent Terry Johnson says gives spectators the best view of the battle. The crowds will be able to watch the authentically-garbed troops face off in the Battle of Drouillard Creek.<\/p>\n<p>The mock battles depict how a typical battle of those times between French,

1815, fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, its North American colonies, and its North American Indian allies. Historians in the United States and Canada see it as a war in its own right, but Europeans often see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars. By the war's end in early 1815 the key issues had been resolved and peace came with no boundary changes.\r\n\r\nRelive history and the War of 1812 at historic forts, battlegrounds and other sites across that part of the US involved in the conflict. Forts, such as Fort Meigs, feature events throughout the year that educate and entertain.

We represent the Grenadier Company of the 42nd Foot, The Royal Highland Regiment, as they would have appeared in winter camp, New York, in October of 1776. The 42nd Royal Highland Regiment camp impression is that of the Regiment December 17th, 1776 through January 19th, 1777 while in winter garrison around Providence, Rhode Island. Our issue uniform has not been modified, but shows the rigors of both a long sea voyage and of participation in the New York area campaigns.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nThe original Grenadier Company, under the command of Captain Charles Graham, arrived in New York Harbor aboard the transport H.M.S. Thames, on August 4th 1776. Upon landing, the Company was brigaded with two Grenadier Companies of the 71st Highland Regiment to form the 4th Grenadier Battalion. The three companies were double strength, which is to say that each had (on paper) 100 men as opposed to the usual 50. At the time of our impression, pay vouchers indicated that the Grenadier Company had a real strength of 86 enlisted men, musicians included. Due to the poor condition of the men of the 71st, the 4th Grenadier Battalion was disbanded and the 42nd Grenadiers attached to the 3rd Battalion. At the termination of action in the New York area, the company was returned to the Regiment. The 3rd Battalion disbanded Mar. 31, 1777 and the 42nd Gren. Co. was assigned to the 2nd Brit. Gren. Bn. and the 2nd Grenadiers were stationed at Brunswick. The 42nd Gren. Company was not returned to the regiment until after Monmouth, and then only from July 5 to July 31, 1778.

The most famous group was probably \u201cRogers Rangers\u201d during the French and Indian War of 1753-1763. After the formation of the United States, the first Army Rangers were created by an act of Congress in 1811, just before the outbreak of the War of 1812. The organization of 10 Companies of mounted Rangers were under the command of Colonel William Russell with four of these Companies detailed detailed to patrol and protect the Illinois territory from the English and Indians. The Illinois Territorial Rangers were an elite group who fought against great odds during this war, but managed to stop all English inroads into downstate Illinois. This is a neglected period of our State\u2019s history which is yet to be properly written.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/fort-massac-encampment\/\">View Fort Massac Encampment Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","slug":"17th-illinois-territorial-rangers","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667.jpg","id":30984,"extension":"jpg","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-768x512.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-177x142.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/17th-Illinois-Territorial-Rangers-02-1000x667-800x534.jpg"}}},"website":"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/ilrangers1811\/home","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"17th Illinois Territorial Rangers","description":"&lt;p&gt;Our 17th Illinois Territorial Rangers was reorganized and chartered under the laws of the State of Illinois on October 17, 1984.
