This group is for ladies who wish to study and portray the "real" 19th Century woman, as she really was. This is a group for serious discussion of bettering our portrayals of the women of early America, Victorian era, and Old West that we respect and hold dear. Recipes, costuming, supply and portrayal hints are welcome. All topics concerning "reconstructing" and the portrayal of the average woman of the 19th century are welcome!

This is an e-list for the Lady Reenactor or Living Historian- that means all aspects from speech, to sewing, ettiquette to recipes and troubles and triumphs! We can all learn by listening to and sharing with one another. Some days are more chatty than others, some days are quiet. I do suggest that if you are going to be away for several days that you set your preferences to "no-email" or "digest" form to keep from having to wade through emails upon your return.

Rules of Deportment will be sent out to every new member and to the list once a month as a reminder.
