some great photos from this january's reenactment of the battle of Cowpens.The American revolution must be one of the most picturesque of all the 18th century wars.
Even the atrocious movie The Patriot looked good... I was once in a room where it was on the tv with the sound down - it is quite a pleasant experience compared to following the plot. Visually quite impressive frame by frame but otherwise a terrible movie, loosely based on the character the Swamp Fox, who was the subject of a Disney tv series back in the old days apparently but Gibson alledgedly objected to some of old Swampy's attitudes so fictionalised the whole thing - this is why the Tarleton character is called Tavington or something - what an industry?
