INTRODUCTION

Welcome!
As the website title says, we are an 18th century Revolutionary War Re-enactment unit. We are located in Southern California, and we always welcome new recruits, bearing arms or otherwise. Our aim is to maintain the memory of the struggle for Independence that the common soldier endured so that we may enjoy our freedoms to this day.

We do this by portraying both in image and in deed, the Continental Soldiers of 1776 known as Colonel John Haslet's Company of light infantry, of the Delaware Regiment.

We offer educational programs throughout the Southern California area, whereby the public can witness the camp life and battle tactics of Washington's army. We are not real soldiers, we are living historians, each with our own talents and specialized areas of knowledge. We are not political in any way, other than we do have the occasional affrontery reserved for King George the III.

Families are most welcome to join our group, as there is something to do for everyone. Men, while encouraged to take up arms against the tools of oppression (the British, naturally) are not required to do so. Women, known as 'camp followers, played a vital role in support of the army, and we have numerous women doing various impressions of the period. Children, if over 15 are allowed to bear arms if they wish. We are fully insured and safety oriented in our approach to bringing history to the public.

Please contact Hank Kayser or Marc Atkinson (see email address on this page) should you have any questions about what we do and if you would like to meet with us.

Check back frequently as this site is new, and we will be adding pictures and articles shortly.

Thank you for visiting!
