Every reenactment should do the same. Many battlefields are quickly going by the wayside. Is there any oganization for the colonal periods that helps raise money to protect these places? I know there is big time for CW events or there were when I did it. like we need more of these developments, especially for strip malls ect when I see all these other places vacent.
Probably one of the reasons this battle is forgotten today is because Anythony Wayne was almost completely routed by Cornwallis. We as Americans don't like to see our own defeats. Wayne could have been destroyed, and by sheer luck survived. His losses were probably greater than the paltry 140 often quoted. Funny to see John Pagano here. This guy was a CW re-enactor and was considered by many as a rather pompus ass! Odd that he seems to be in Rev War now. Hope the battle can be saved.
Excellent job as ever Kevin, but where are the Royal Artillery Vignettes? Haha...Boy that was a hot one to shoot! I was the RA Commander at this event.
Cool to find you on here...It's Rex from Brandywine. :~)

what drill are the American's doing at 1:12? They look fantastic.

Looks like they're just going from right shoulder arms to left shoulder arms. Those are modern terms, though, and might not be appropriate here.

I was there for that reenactment, talk a bout one hot weekend (record temps) and the chiggers were killer.
