My eye caught an address to “Living History Worldwide”, a historical re-enactment forum, with a wealth of information regarding said topic. While I am not a re-enactor, taking the time to read the differing sub-groups (differentiated by historical groups, such as the “French and Indian War”, “Soldiers of the Queen”, and the new and quickly growing “Steampunk” groups) provides insight to the nuances of the era in question.
