Hello, Welcome to the Soldados group. We are all willing to advise people on their outfits, but for my part I'd like to ask what your period is? Period correct...
Thanks David. I got your reply and I agree there is a large time span to cover! (On my original question to the "Revlist", I did specify the de Anza/Portola...
Lee: Look under the photo section and see the illustrations of the Anza expedition, you will see the length and probably the cut too. David did some wonderful...
Hello Lee, Well that narrows it down nicely. I did paintings of Expedition personnel for Santa Barbara Trust's Anza Expedition elementary school role-playing...
Gentlemen, your help is much appreciated! Based on your advice and guidance, I think we were looking in right direction; the puzzle pieces are starting to fit...
The 11th annual, historical re-enactment of "The Sack of St. Augustine: Capt. Robert Searle's Raid of 1668" will take place on March 6 – March 8, 2009, in...
Hello, Following Lee's query about creating a soldado uniform, I went looking for sources of supply. Najecki, it seems, is no longer carrying the wool uniform...
... I found Jon Williams out of San Augustine Forida, is a supplier of woolen cloth. That is where I bought my cloth for my presidio uniform. He is located...
Thanks Richard, but it would be helpful if Mr. Williams had a website and, better still, we could know how the wool he carries compares with the types of cloth...
I like Mr. Williams woolens, most come in the 21 oz. and 13 oz. The heavier for coats and breeches and the lighter mainly for facings. The reds are mostly...
Speaking of uniforms, talk about too cool, nuestro amigo Rick Collins made the Anza Trail news (http://www.nps.gov/juba/parknews) with the announcement that...

I checked out the link from the nps listed here. Since It will be awhile before I make any trips to the west coast, can anybody help me out? I noticed that...
Now, if someone would commemorate the "other" Anza trail, from New Mexico up into Colorado to do battle with "Cuerno Verde" ... ... From: Frank C. Martinez...
David: I must have missed some messages, but is Najecki just out of the fabric business, or is he retiring from the whole sutler thing? If so, Is Jim Kochan's...
Hey, give us Californios a chance, John. I've been to Golondrinas once (with Bob Stevens), hanging out with Roberto Valdez and the guys there. I noticed that...
Just curious. Is anyone re-enacting Dominguez/Escalante? The Californios are re-enacting Anza, right? Lila [Non-text portions of this message have been...
No one that I know of does Dominguez/Escalante, unfortunately. I lived in Utah for many years and I only heard a rumor of one hispanic impression (of course,...
So Lila, its not likely that Lorenzo from your books would ever get out that far west. Not that you're not busy, but would you ever write something Anza or...
Boy, are you right about Las Golondrinas! The folks down there are just wonderful and what a great place! Unfortunately, their enthusiasm for Spanish...
Dan, the saddles for NPS Anza are not meant to be real. They are for the little chicos to climb up onto. The are sturdy charro trees, but otherwise rigged with...
Lila, I for one think that a book about the Anza expedition from a child's point-of-view would be a book that I would like to read to my grandchildren. - Bob ...
You all are just bad. You're inspiring me to write something. I'll let the idea percolate and see what I can come up with. I'll also need to see what's...
Hi Lila, While I'm sure that we have lots of references that you would find of interest (for Anza, the Web de Anza has the journals of both expeditions in both...
Thanks! I just finished a young adult novel called "Playing God" that is set in 2019 and am shopping it around. I'm in that twilight stage right now...
