OUTLANDER Links, Part II: Colonial North Carolina
Merrymags sent in the following link:
https://www.northcarolinahistory.org/ - Check out the encyclopedia. Fascinating stuff!
This one comes from Jari Backman:
https://tinyurl.com/3fokmh - Lots of interesting facts about Governor Josiah Martin of North Carolina, mentioned in ABOSAA.
And here are some that I found:
https://jas-townsend.com/ - A site for 18th century re-enactors, including tons of photos of objects, clothing, etc., in use in everyday life. And all of it is available for sale! <g>
https://ncpedia.org/history/usrevolution/moores-creek-bridge - Moore's Creek Battlefield site (commemorating the battle described in ABOSAA)
https://www.ncfolk.org/TravelGuides/Groundhog_kilns.aspx - A "groundhog kiln" similar to the one Brianna tried to build in ABOSAA
And finally, here's a book about 18th century clothing, with lots of illustrations, that I found on a visit to Colonial Williamsburg in September. (Sorry I can't post pictures from the book here, but it's copyrighted material.) I highly recommend this book if you are curious about what the various items of clothing mentioned in the OUTLANDER and Lord John books actually looked like.
That's all for now. If you come across any more links that you think others would like to see, please pass them along!
