Colonial Frontier life 2009

A Colonial Re-enactment at Speculator New York. Battle on the Mohawk Valley during the American Revolution located behind Lake Pleasant Central School. Sorry about the quality of recording. Still learning. This Battle was Sponsored by the Historical Society of Lake Pleasant and Speculator. The Battle was re-enacted by the B.V.M.A. (Burning of the Vally Association). The Battle is between Patriots and Loyalist. Most of the men in green & Red are Loyalist (Butler's Rangers) ENJOY

Nice job, thanks for posting this. It gives us just a little glimpse of what our revolutionary ancestors had to deal with in colonial/post-colonial America.
