A couple weeks ago I went to the Grand Encampment of the French and Indian War at Fort Ticonderoga (during the F&I War it was known as Fort Carillion). Most of these pictures were taken by my brother since I was busy shooting at the British (We're actually a British ranger group but the French were lacking in numbers)
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they were taken with a film camera and scanned it, the originals look much better.

One of the bateaus Speakman's Rangers (another British Ranger group) sailed up lake Champlain. I think the whole trip took about a week.

A British regiment we ran into the fort to hide from.

This is after we hid in the fort, waited for the British line to pass and attack the French line further down the battle field. We ran out behind them and pushed them to the boundaries of the battle field where they retreated back to camp.
That's me in the center of the picture reaching for a new cartridge, my lieutenant is just to the right of my (not the guy running).

That's all the pics I have for now. There are a few more I'll scan in later and I'll (or my brother will) take more pics at future events.
 
Some are real Indians, others either have a good tan or a lot of war paint. One guy was painted head to toe in black.
