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.
