This past weekend Rick and I drove to Kings Mountain National Military Park to meet up the Hesse Kassel Jaeger Korps, living history re-enactors, and watch their firing demonstration of the Ferguson Rifle and other military flintlock guns. The demonstration was great and the guns were loud.
The Hesse Kassel Jaeger Korps is a dedicated group who portray an elite unit of the Germanic Hesse Kassel Jaegers, who fought for Briton during the American Revolution.
Here the Jaegers are standing in formation and are preparing to fire their rifles.
Ricky Roberts fires his flintlock rifle. I was not ready for this shot and once fired I jumped.
This is the Jaegers home for the weekend, done in historic correct materials.
We were lucky to get a photo of the great display of Revolution War era military guns.
Once the demonstration was over we decided to walk down one of the trails and enjoy the beautiful day. I noticed this off the path trail and thought about climbing up, but then decided not, and instead continue on the nice paved trail that we were on.
And lastly, a nice picture of us (after three tries using the quickpod, Rick has great patience).
