"A Few Men Well Conducted" George Rogers Clark NPS Film - Re-enacting Retro

Re-enacting Retro - This is a very well-done, classic older National Park Service Museum film from 1978.
This is the story of George Rogers Clark and his courageous frontiersmen who fought on the Kentucky and Illinois frontier during the American Revolution. To help end British-inspired Indian attacks on Kentucky settlements, these brave men defied tremendous odds to capture Ford Sackville from the British in 1779.
We hope you enjoy. This is another in a series of postings on our KZbin channel of a cool New series of Old videos -- featured only on here -- taken from a personal collection of re-enacting films and videos from the 1980s that can't be found anywhere else, or else we've tried to find them for nostalgia's sake, but did our own digging and presenting the results of our treasure hunt here. Some are taken from VHS originals or DVD transfers from those VHS copies. Originals were in Standard Def or Videotaped off of TV when they first aired. Some shot professionally and others by individuals with "portable" home video cameras on their shoulders.
Some Classic Re-enacting videos are already searchable on KZbin, but we wanted to start a new series of some rarely or never before seen classics that either only aired once or where short lived and available only to a select few at the time. We hope you enjoy. These programs presented in this RE-ENACTING RETRO series are presented for the enjoyment of all and we don't claim them for ourselves.

This is the only film about such a great man, he deserves much more recognition.

There are many books about Clark . I recommend From Sea to Shinning Sea

This is actually not bad at all. I would say it is very well done, for 1970s, especially. Something I feel that the younger generation of reenactors today are unfortunately missing. They get every aspect of the stitching, cut, and design of uniforms spot-on correct, but they seem to lack the quality in how it's presented. I know this because I am a young reenactor, but I am still just old enough to remember the older fellas and the way impressions were done when I was a kid growing up. Some things have definitely improved, especially in the way of visual quality. But still, other things have only worsened. There was a special zeal and camaraderie that was unique to the older generation that is sadly lost nowadays.

I remember watching this over and over again on VCR as a kid, great film, aged well.

Another of many great warriors from Virginia. They say Virginia is for lovers, really Virginia is for warriors.

My dad's from Dare, VA. He and his siblings and I agree with you. Clann Fearghaille is truly that type of stock both maternally and paternally. Both of my parents are decedents of US soldiers from nearly, if not, every war since 1860. As well as some confederate soldiers and by marriage, the seven years' war. Maybe earlier since my step uncle Josiah Bartlett's ancestors came aboard the mayflower.

The St Padraig's Cross was not present in the Union Jack until 1801 when the Act Of Union was passed by parliament. Yet the jack depicted in this video at the fall of Fort Sackville has it. How hilarious!!!

Good actor portraying GRC

[@markmeader5148]

I am surprised that frost bite and other cold related injuries didn't have more effect on the troops.

[@clarencehopkins7832]

Excellent stuff bro

[@tomkrayg8102]

Please edit "1976" to 1776 around the 7 min mark

[@stuarthastie6374]

What about the five indian prisoners he tortured and killed in full view of the dort.

[@mikekemper9566]

And the tribes were slaughtered. Desamated and relocated to reservations.. sad.

[@m10bob22]

Not all..It depended on whose side the Native Americans were on. Indiana still has a Native American presence from the Miami who have been indigenous for hundreds of years.

[@hunkerbunt5174]

The Indians were killing and eating each other when the pilgrims arrived
