Photos of me in my garb at events
This page is just pictures of me. Kinda self
gratuitous, huh? It's intended to give some idea of how clothing and accoutrement
fits or is worn. There are other images available in the Event
Photos pages and on our
Southern
Indian Department site |

Fund raiser for the Living History Park during "Under the Crown", North
Augusta, SC, June 2009. Portraying Emistisiguo, a Creek leader
loyal to the British during the American Revolution. I am a bit
smaller than in the previous pictures... This is a roughly mid-war
time period, late 1770s. Though the garb is not an attempt at a
specific year, some items/styles are specifically a little later.
Wearing wool breechclout and fingerwoven leg ties (both from Nathan
Kobuck), scalplock, trade shirt, wool leggings, decorated pucker-toe
moccasins, a short-term "make do" sash, and the peace medal carriage I
made.
Also decked out in a matchcoat given to me by David Mott that is
inspired by the Parson's image of Cunne Shotte (posted
on the site here), my big pipe (bowl made by Yamassee Hokte), swan
wing (this is a peaceful occasion), silver ear bobs by Ward Oles and
others. My hair has a large fingerwoven hairfob in it that I got
from Jason Wolz. I am also wearing a silver nose 'bob', silver and nickel silver armbands and
bracelets (maker unknown) and several brass trade rings made by Joseph Privott.
The minimal paint I'm wearing is purely decorative - some on my head,
a few lines at my eyes. |

Fort Dobbs' Trade Fair, October 2009 - Ruffled linen shirt,
scalplock, wool 'clout, leather leggings, beaded leg ties, twined bag.
Probably a prisoner tie around my waist. |
|
Also Fort Dobbs' Trade Fair '09: Checked shirt, red stroud 'clout, and a
ball-head war club this time, as I'm collecting a renegade Cherokee from
the fort garrison. |

Fort Dobbs' Trade Fair '09 again - as the "Micco" during a
trade talk with the North Carolinians. Crowder made the horned diadem
based on period images. Wearing the standard - scalplock; ball and
cone earrings, nose bob, peace medal, neck knife, linen ruffle shirt, and
paint. This historical event had the Catawbas fully painted for their
trip through what could have been hostile territory for them had they been
mistaken for Cherokee. |

North Augusta, June 2009 - lean to behind me, with gourds, horn/bag, etc
hanging from it. Wool leggings, knife, peace medal, scalplock,
linen shirt (way too big), and no mocs - it was in the 90's that
weekend, so we didn't wear much on our feet. I am wearing a
'clout; you just can't see it for the shirt. |

Fort Dobbs' War for Empire event, 2008.
We were doing storytelling, then going to a "war council", so painted up
beforehand.
Natural linen shirt, pattern from "Thoughts on Men's Shirts". Wool
leggings, beaded garters, trade wool breechclout, wool matchcoat. I
have my newest favorite pipe with a very long stem, my pipe bag tucked into
a prisoner tie that I'm using as a belt.
Wearing my Peace medal and neck knife, I have three pairs of ear bobs in
each ear, and am wearing several brass bracelets. My hair is in a scalplock with three braids. A cane tube is on one, small hair fob on
the largest, and I have a turkey tail feather or two just randomly tucked
into the braids.
It was cool and rather cloudy, so the colors came out more garish then
they really are. |

Westville 2004 Raid on Shepherd's Plantation event.
Still wearing my ever-nastier checked shirt. As this is a 19th c.
event, I'm wearing a simple turban, wool leggings, beaded leg ties, and a
pointed, blue edged red wool breechcloth. Though a rather late event
for them, I'm using my neck knife, twined shooting bag, and carrying
my trade gun. The short sash I'm wearing is Jacob's, and is
only there because I left my belt at home that weekend. I also have
a prisoner harness around my waist, dangling down in front. You
can't see my deer hide center seam moccasins in the undergrowth.
Black and vermillion face and some body paint, pairs of ear and
nose bobs, trade bead necklace complete the ensemble.

Not the greatest photo, since I removed all the other
folks and stuff from around and behind me, but gives a decent idea of what
I wear to a cool weather event. This was at our Fort Yargo
Thanksgiving feast, November, 2003. It was cool, but not miserably
cold during the day.
The ever present blue checked shirt, wool weskit, wool
leggings, saved-list breechclout from Wooded Hamlet, center seam puckertoe moccasins,
leather belt, woven wool leg garters. My matchcoat is folded narrowly over
my left shoulder. I have my neck knife and a leather shooting bag, as well
as my 'hawk. You probably can't see the earrings and nose ring in
this picture. |

knife, bow, quiver, shot pouch, trade beads, red ochre, black paint mixed
with bear oil, ball and cone earbobs, nose ring with floating ball, hair
cut in style documented by early Georgia paintings. Good thing I
finally got contacts though.
