Don't know if this is belongs in this thread, but:

Do you know if the Park Service, I think its State of Kansas, still does reenactments of the Marrais de Cygnes Massacre, or anything along those lines?

Isn't Clinton lake where Mine Creek was staged a few years back?

There is a reenactment of the Marias de Cygnes Massacre done annually, I'm not sure who sponsors it.

The old Mine Creek events were held at Malvern Lake. Neither quite qualify for further discussion on the A-C.

This event is shaping up to be one of the best this year and it so happens to be in the trans-mississippi. So now we have two of the years best out here, Mansfield and Bleeding Kansas. I know I have talked to guys and groups (and wet plate artists!)as far away as Virginia, Maryland and New York, they are planning to come so the rest of you have no excuse not to! Well other than, 1)Money, 2)Wife and kids 3) death. But couldn't 2and 3 be combined? I don't intend to find out anytime soon!

Registration for the Bleeding Kansas event will be opening very soon. Visit the link above for the registration form.

There is also a listserv for this event: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BK1855/ . There are several links to primary source material and useful files located on the YahooGroup.

I hope to see as many of you as possible out here in June.

Registration is open for the Bleeding Kansas event. Some very general information on the event and registration forms are at the the link provided by Frank (and corrected by Steve). The clothing guidelines and a good deal of primary sources are located in the "files" and "links" portion of the Yahoo group located at the link that I posted. Specific scenarios, etc. are being discussed in the organizing committee and will be posted (if appropriate) as they are solidified.
