About James Bell
Expertise
I am actively involved in Revolutionary War reenacting (1775-1783). I am currently the Vice President, Quartermaster, Webmaster and Lieutenant in a Pennsylvania Line unit. Living history organizations are one way we can keep the past alive, and instill into our youth what life was like in days long gone. There are several living history organizations out there, from Mideavil Times through World War II. The Civil War and Revolutionary War are two of the most popular. I can answer questions regarding how to get in contact with a living history organization, and what would be involved in getting into the hobby, from the cost of weapons and accoutrements to what you can expect during a weekend event.

Experience
I am relatively still a "young pup" in the hobby - 10 years. Many of the more seasoned ones have been in the hobby since the Bicentennial.

Question
I am a fine art photographer and am looking to photograph at enactments within a 40 mile range of Phila, Pa. Can you direct me to a schedule for 2009/2010?

Answer
Mickie -

I can direct you to my unit's site ... the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment:
http://www.EleventhPA.org

You can also visit the website for the Continental Line:
http://www.ContinentalLine.org

Both sites list their schedule for upcoming events. The next big event in the Philadelphia area is the Battle of Germantown (October 3) at Cliveden.

Our unit was present at the Battle of Germantown on October 4, 1777, so it is one we support as much as we can. We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,
James Bell
