About Me

Historical Ken
I practice living history with friends and family and portray citizens during the era of the American Revolution (1770s) and Civil War (1860s). "If you could build up any muscle to be a historian, I'd say it's the empathy muscle. Go out and do empathy exercises; put yourself in their place." David McCullough (1933 - 2022 historian and historical author)~ "We are tellers of stories, we history folks. Our decorative and utilitarian objects are not merely things, but clues to tales of our past as a country. We don't just purchase a lantern; we investigate how it was used and the significance of the pattern of the piercing of the tin. All of the looking back is also a looking forward as friends and families grow closer just as they would have in early America. Make the right historical environment and let the situations and camaraderie unfold." Tess Rosch - Publisher Early American Life Magazine
