Thanks! This is a gift, Rondo...It is a reference piece that needs to be pinned.

First, I watched the Animated Map Video of the Revolution. Then, I got hooked into this piece...Between the two my entire Saturday schedule has been derailed :lol sign

This piece is absolutely wonderful. There is more solid, clear descriptions of frontier clothing than I have ever seen in one place. It is a treasure trove of good info.

Thanks again
