Tempus Fugit: Video

The Doctor and the Governess attended the Long Run Massacre event hosted by the Painted Stone Settlers on the weekend of September 9-11 in Shelbyville, Kentucky. The event was a recreation of events that occurred in 1781.

Both performed for the benefit of the publick. The Governess gave a talk about women's fashions on Sunday afternoon and the Doctor performed demonstrations on the Art & Mystery of Surgery on both days.

A native holds the Doctor's hair aloft!

During the final battle reenactment on Sunday afternoon for the public, the Doctor and the Governess were killed by the local savage... the natives even going so far as to take the poor Doctor's wig from his head.

Never you fear intrepid readers, the Doctor and the Governess aren't gone for good. The Long Run Massacre represents their final appearances in public for the remainder of the year.

It's been a good run, but I'm tired, and ready for the break from the wig. In the meantime, be sure to have a look at some of my OTHER projects:

Get 'Undressed'

WHATEVER SHALL I WEAR?

Be it the Colonial era (1750-1790) or the Regency period (1800-1820), Miss Waterman's discussions of fashion and the clothing of the time makes sense out of what women wore. Miss Waterman's talk begins fully dressed in the clothing of the desired period, and as each layer is removed she shares the origins, reasons and historical anecdotes for each article.

Age old questions about the 'why' and even 'how' certain garments were worn are answered in this educational and entertaining presentation, suitable for all audiences.

Miss Waterman offers a 45 minute presentation followed by a 15 minute Q & A session.

Boonesborough Trade Fair

Lucy has very clearly stated that she will NOT be sharing the Six Shillings with me, and Rose will not be sharing her pay as Sheriff with me. And to make matters worse, young mister Fischer, who was consigned to be my new apprentice ran off after the Court Session was over! I have legal papers, and by jove I'll sue!

Remembering Boonesborough

Boonesborough Report

WAS quite pleased with my lecture given to the Kentuckians at Fort Boonesborough. They seemed genuinely interested and receptive to the subject matter. I made every attempt to impress upon them the importance of my trade if they were to have a prolonged and successful experience upon the frontier.

You can read the favourable report writ about my talk by Mr. J. Cummings on his journal.

You may also view a rememberance of part of the talk as well.
