Creek

Got sent to one of those reenactment camps today, where people stand around in period costume and talk about who they are and give some history lessons. Fortunately for me it started to rain as I was talking to James. So we ducked inside the log cabin he built with his sons, and as he was staring out of the open front door, watching the rain came down, this is what I got.



official caption: Postal worker by day, Creek Indian by passion, James Allen, 52, of Land O'Lakes has been involved in reenactments for the last 20 years. He didn't care too much for the Civil War stuff, but fell in love with the History of the 1830s, especially surrounding the Second Seminole Wars. Allen took vacation to attend the 13th Annual Fort Dade Mountain Man Rendezvous at the Withlacoochee River Park, where he teaches people about his role as a volunteer scout for the U.S. Army.
