Sounds quite intriguing, Marc ... :)

What part of the 1700s do y'all have in mind, as there was a fairly big costume shift from the early 1700s to the late 1700s.

Please see attachments for early, mid and late costume differences.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

A good question! The film period is the seven years war (1756 -1763)

Bye,

Thanks for your reply, Marc ...

As you probably know, the Seven Years War was called the French and Indian War here in the Colonies ... :)

Thanks to James Fenimore Cooper's books (The Leatherstocking Tales), this is a very popular period of history in North America.

Hopefully, you will have lots of participants in your contest.

All the best,
Richard
