Thank you for your list of recommendations for readings. There is also 5 hour mini-series on the Last of the Mohicans which is very well done.

Hey Randy,
I didn't know about this mini-series, must have a search on Amozon for it. Thanks for posting - and the tip-off.
Cheers

Here are some reenactment photos from Fort Mackinaw that is on the mainland side of the straights of Mackinac (Mackinaw) between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Leadmen

One of the buildings that the troops bunked in. They have large wooden boxes they slept in groups. No individual bunks. J

These are some French troops. My buddies wanted me to enlist. J

 

[Leadmen]

I enjoyed being a voyager at reenactments plus I did not need expensive uniforms and accessories. Just my canoe paddle and no rules. J

Some French Troops getting ready to march. J

Troops lined up. J

Back at camp. The British pictures would not post. Guess I have to reduce them but all the pictures are the same size?I would rather drink wine at camp and no British Rules. They count the rocks around your fire and no wristwatches or flashlights. Very serious stuff. You live in 1757. John

Thank you John for posting these. You are lucky to be near the Fort.

Did your friends ask you to be a Woodland Indian?

If you post these photos on my FIW thread on CTSC you can post them in a larger size. That would be great.

Randy: I posted them, but what size can I use with photoshop (Mac)? I am not sure and don't want to keep resizing them or downsizing the photos. John

 

[PolarBear]

Well John
As they say great minds run alike--I see you have already done that.

Thank you for your contribution. You always have interesting stuff that's for sure.

On MAC photoshop I do 11'' width on TF and 15" width on CTSC.
Just use the Image Resize command.

Thanks Randy. I been struggling with the sizes. John

 

[PolarBear]

Thanks Randy. I been struggling with the sizes. John

For TF it's all about getting the sizes to 1000X800 pixels and the 11 inch width works best.

I tried again. No luck -- I was using the 11" width and 72 resolution. I could not find a resize command.?? J

I'm running mac photoshop version 3 and at the top it says Image. Click on that and it will have resize image as a choice--that brings up a menu where you plug in the width--i.e. 11" Then you save for web (under file) and make sure file is no bigger than 97kb
