Loving all the videos, I grew up just up the road from Fort Mims near the present day Creek Nation Reservation. Looking to get into Living History myself here in South Carolina

Your productions keep improving from your excellent start! I, too, love the period of the Early Republic and the War of 1812. As a northerner, I know only the broadest strokes of these events. I enjoy learning their details from you. Do you have any reading recommendations on the Creek War?

@@leoscheibelhut940 thanks!! Yes, the absolute best book to read on the creek war is called “A Conquering Spirit” by Greg Waselkov.

Schools used to teach Alabama history and we all learned about Ft Mims & Sam Dale. I had always understood that most of the inhabitants of the fort were mixed blood Creeks , much like the warriors who attacked them

I had read elsewhere that the gate was stuck open because it had been open too long. How awful. During the Indian uprising of 1622, Jamestown, VA was spared because my ancestor, Richard Pace, warned the inhabitants in time to close the gate. The people of Ft. Mims had nearly 200 years of advance warning. It shows the age old problem that, if we fail to learn history we are doomed to repeat it.

Interesting! The fort was constructed to protect the inhabitants. But, yet the east door was left open so long it became stuck. Complete complicity and incompetence of command period!

Having grown up and lived in that area, I can attest that Ft. Mims during August was a miserable place to be for 500 inhabitants in an enclosed acre. I speculate that at that time the gates had to be left open to allow some sort of fresh to enter the compound. This being said, Beasley should have had posted guards attending the gates at all times

I have both a wooden & tin canteen. The only reason I don’t carry them on my person on my treks is due to the fact that they are military grade canteens. I don’t do any military living history or portrayals, so I didn’t see it fit for my treks. Thanks for the info tho!

@Alongthewolftrail ppl that were soldiers in the period would of keep and continued to use the equipment after or non military men could of traded for theses items .just like a haversac during the war they were used mainly for food rations after was still a handy bag to carry any gear of food stuffs that would fit.

I do like that you have char cloth tinder, we know it was used historically but has been put down of late, ITHINK cloth tinder was common. Forks may not of been popular among the class of men who usually struck out for the frontier….. however they come in handy I have a red wool bag full of modern first aid stuff I do use shoes and half boots i got tired of making moccs. I live in the Ozarks, that’s an old Indian word that means land that eat moccs.
