Jeff,
Great job with this site! Do you run this Top 100 Sites site? I see that my http://www.1stminnesota.net is not on it. Any suggestions on how to get it mentioned?
Thanks,
Wayne
Great Job!
How do I get these E-mails, where do I sign up?
Thanks for pointing out the lack of the subscribe feature. Somehow, that got lost in the migration to the new server. I’ll check on that and find out for you. Just keep checking back within the next 1-2 weeks and hopefully I’ll have an answer for you.
I am VERY impressed. Not surprised, knowing you — but very impressed. The site is top-notch. I know the people who experienced that War would appreciate your work here.
My friend and I participate in Mountain Man Rendezvous every year and are interested in joining reenactments as well. Is it possible to do this? We may not be able to join immediately because we’re poor college students, but we would love to do it in the future!
