Hoffman’s Mossers

 

Goal:      To accurately bring to life the period of the English Civil Wars (1642 to 1652)
with special reference to the years 1650 -52, so that we may all better understand 
our own heritage and not repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.

 

Activities: 

       I, To develop an authentic recreation of the Royalist Scots Company (and persons of the train) 
commanded by Augustine Hoffman in the years 1650-52.

       II, To develop authentic (yet safe) recreations of dueling and military practices of the period.

       III, To enjoy feasting, fellowship, games, songs and dancing in the style of the period.

 

Description: 
Currently over fifty members, each equipped with at least the basics necessities of life on the run in
Scotland. Their equipment is extensive, providing a living history display with everything from playing cards to medical equipment, small arms to light field cannon,  cooking utensils to tents, all correct to period. Several presenters are available capable giving expert, yet very lively talks on their period at levels from kindergarten to post graduate.
