Coassement de la Grenouille

Journal of the Milice de Ste. Famille

Volume 14, No. 1, January 2002

 

Bon jour mon amis,

 

Starting the year off with a bang!  I am busy packing for the ane’congele’ at the Fort.  The weather forecast is for SNOW.  Hope it doesn’t get too deep.  Stuff gets deep enough when we all get together down there.

 

I just received a check from the Kimmswick Merchant Association for our caroling last December.  We have been invited back.  So mark your calendars for Dec. 7, 2002.  That is Pearl Harbor day.  After we finish caroling we can get ‘bombed’.  Sorry, but the cheap ones are the best.

 

I hope everyone has had a chance to see the new web page.  If you don’t have a computer, go to your library or someone who has one and check it out.  The address is:  www.milice.org. Brian Smith, one of our newer members, put this together and he did a wonderful job.  Between the two of us, we will keep it up to date.

 

Membership dues are due for the Forces of Montcalm and Wolfe.  If you have not signed up, please do.  A membership form is elsewhere in the newsletter.  Please let me know when you send in your dues.  I have to list all of our members on our unit renewal.

 

Frog Talk 2002 is coming on well.  Rene’ Chartrand will again be our main speaker.  He was here several years ago, and presents a very fine talk.  His knowledge is priceless.  There are more details elsewhere in the newsletter.  If you have any questions, contact Lyle Cubbery or Tom Connor.

 

As you know, Carol Luer made a new unit flag for us.  It was decided to use the old one as a battle flag.  However, we need a flagpole.  Any volunteers?

 

Some information on the Grand Encampment 2002.

 

If you have not yet registered, there is still time.  Contact me to register, or if you have any questions.  This is looking to be as good as an event as Ticonderoga or Niagara.  I spent a little time researching the location.  According to Mapquest, Birdsboro Pa is about  850 miles from the Old Courthouse in Cahokia (14.5 hours).  It is about 10 miles southeast from Reading PA.  The average high temperature for July 26-28 is 85.  The average low is 63.  The records are 97 and 46.  Not bad compared to a Midwest summer.  We will be allowed two dining flys per unit.  As time gets closer we will decide who has the largest ones and take those.  Also, we have to furnish our own cartridges.  So let’s get rolling.  I hope we can have a really large turnout from the Milice.  We took 50 people to Louisbourg.  Let’s see if we can top that.

 

Lots of good times coming up.  There is a general calendar elsewhere in the newsletter.

 

I remain, your most humble and obedient servant,

Jean Baptiste Tavernier

 

 

 

School of the Soldier, 2002

 

The 15th Annual School of the Soldier will be held the third weekend of April, the 19th and the 20th, 2002 at Fort de Chartres, near Praire du Rocher, IL.  The featured speaker this year will be Rene Chartrand, retired Military Historian for Parks Canada, and author of many history books.  Along with Rene, we will have – how to tune a flinktlock, 19th century cooking in the Illinois country, wool dying with natural dyes, coif (Ladies French hat) making, and fly-bird shooting.  Barb and Denny Duffy have agreed once again to pay for our enjoyment on Saturday night.  And there is a rumor there may be a wedding reception on Saturday night, also.  We do not charge for this event.

 

There will be an auction on Saturday afternoon of 18th century items to help defray the cost of the School.   So bring an item for the auction, and your checkbook.  Dewy, Cheatum and Howe will, once again, try and lighten your wallet.  On Saturday evening for your convenience, there will be a catered dinner.  Cost will be approximately $10 per person.  Let us know by April 12th if you plan on eating dinner with us, as we need a rough head count for the caterer.

 

For more information, contact Lyle Cubberly lachawk@charter.net, 618-624-8258, or Tom Connor tufly@prodigy.net, 618-632-2529.

 

 

 

War Wagon

A road trip to Ticonderoga with Bob Gill

 

 

War wagon you say with a question mark.  We were traveling in his big red Van.  What does that have to do with war, you ask?  Well there was a 600lb. Cannon latched over the rear axle and about 15lbs. of Black Powder in a box right next to it.  Bob made one of his famous short cut turns into downtown Columbus, OH.  Kind of like the time he got a four-car convoy lost in Amherst, NY. on the way to Fort Niagara.  But, that is another story.  A good one but not now.  Lisa Crews was following us.  I could see her in the rear view mirror waving and pointing at every stoplight to direct Bob back on to the correct route.  Her horn was loud and clear, but for some reason Bob acted like he could not hear it.  I wonder why?   Later he said that he planned to go that way.  I knew that I was going to jail if a policeman stopped us and looked in the back of the War Wagon.

 

A single story line did not strike me so this report may seem somewhat fragmented and disconnected.  There were several Milice members and friends that made the trip.  I think, this list is complete: Bob Gill, Jim Chestney, Lisa Crews, Peachy and Nancy Ballance, Sonny and Roseanne Henderson, John and Iris Francis, Gary and Jean Driver, Rich and Shirley Kroener, Lyle and Barbara Cubberly, John Mefford, Larry and Katy Ring, Carol Scherer, Russ and Mary Wyatt, Laura Cubberly and her soon to be husband Craig.

 

It was a pleasure to meet Craig; he is a fine young man let’s wish the best for them.  He was drafted into the Lord Howe battle on Friday and on our cannon crew Sat.  But let’s jump back to the trip.

 

When we pulled off the N.Y. toll Turnpike at Amsterdam, we had to stop and pay toll.  The man in the tollbooth took the money.  He then looked at Bob and said, “ you look like Wilford Brimley”.  Bob said “What?”  The guy said, “You look like Wilford Brimley.”  Bob said, “I am not hearing you.”  The guy said, “you look like “Wilford Brimley.”  Bob turns towards me then asked “What did he say.”   I answered “He says that you are a --- ----.”  No, I did not but what a great opportunity.  Gary Fuller will be disappointed in me.

 

One of the first things that you notice at the camping area outside of the Fort was all of the dragonflies.  They were everywhere.  I said, Bob look at all of the dragonflies.  He looked at me and gave me that big grin like he does.  Lyle came over to greet us and said have you noticed the different types of dragonflies.  I said, There sure seem to be a lot of them.  The nice thing is that they do not bother you.  They do not bite.  Do you know that dragonflies have legs but can not walk?

 

Their main purpose in life is to eat mosquito larvae.  Dragonflies have been around since before the Dinosaurs. During that period, some of them even had 6”wing spans.  They have battled over the eons against mosquitoes.  Who knows how long they have been on the job here around Fort Ticonderoga?  They have been here just so we can be free of those nasty mosquitoes.

 

The dragonflies are losing the battle!!!   There is no shortage of mosquitoes in upper New York.  I have never seen so many of these pest {maybe at Fort Chartres}.  There were big ones, little ones, fat ones, and fatter ones.  I saw a mosquito taking, one of Joyce’s spit bathes, in my citronella candle’s melted wax.

 

While setting up camp, a question of our being permitted to have dining flies was brought to our attention.  The camp engineer said no.  A discussion followed his decision. He was firm and rejected our opinions. Luckily Russ’s twin bother Russell showed up and assumed the negations.  You may remember the delicate work he preformed at Fort Legionnaire.  Russell employed his usual diplomacy and persuasive skill to reach a solution.  He only needed a few moments of careful communications, and we were assembling the dining flies.

 

The showers had plenty of hot water this year.  The stairs are still tall.  Lyle counted 72 steps down to the shower, but there were 72! steps on the way up.

 

Bob Gill received a captain’s commission in the regular French Army.  John Mefford received a captain’s commission in the Milice. They had a real nice ceremony.  The documents were read in French in front of the troops.

 

Sonny joined our cannon crew and helped in Sunday’s battle.

 

Barbara was forced to sew on Lyle’s uniform.  Boy he is mean.

 

John was like a kid in a candy store.  It seemed like he was in five places at the same time.  This was his first trip to the area.  There were so many things to see and do.  John made a big effort to do it all.

 

As a group, we spent a lot of money.  I know we probably spent over $1000.00.  We bought shoes, clothes, books, wigs, dishes, pocketknives, and other items to numerous to mention.  Larry and Katy did all right by us.  Nick Westbrook stopped by our area a few times.  He said that his staff spent their last paycheck there also.  I wonder if Katy found a new pair of shoes.  She tried on every pair that the shoe man brought. {Larry and Katy sure have top quality merchandise.}

 

Bob and I stayed in the same tent.  Each night I had the same dream.  It was a voice that kept calling “Luke come to the dark side, you don’t know the power of the dark side.  Luke I am your father.”  Every night it called over and over.

 

I will leave you with a trivia question.  A chocolate candy bar to the person that can explain this quotation “move the body to Water Street.”  Believe me, it does fit into the report.  Hint: the three Stooges.  No, Dangerous you can not play. I know you have the answer.

 

The trip was outstanding.  It was a shame bad that all of us could not go.

 

                                                                        Your friend,

                                                                                    Jim Chestney

 

 

 

Bugger What the Froggies Say – Dave Roberts

(From NF&OE – the Journal- Issue 2, Volume3)

 

 

For some time, I have been interested in the language and terms we use as reenactors when attempting to insult or reproach one of our fellow performers in front of the public.  To say the least, this can be a precarious situation.  Firstly, we should avoid offending the audience and secondly, it is often hard to avoid falling into the classic reenactor insults, including the pox or questioning the parentage or sexual activities of the recipient.  Unfortunately, this can all too soon end up sounding like excerpts from Black Adder.

 

Fortunately, the reality is quite varied and in some cases, far more colourful.  What follows is a list of potential insults used in New France as seen in court records from Montreal, Quebec, Troi-Rivieres and Louisbourg.(1)  they all formed part of legal proceedings for plaints en reparation d’injure verbale, or what we call slander.

 

 

 

Words that commonly appear in insults aimed at men (2)

 

Voleur/larron/filou – Generally a thief or person accused of having stolen something

Coquin – a scoundrel

Fripon – a cheat or knave

Bougre – a bugger or blackguard

Miserable/Malheureux – a filthy wretch, miserable person or similar

Conard/cocou – a cuckold

Sot – a fool or duped husband

Criminel – someone who had a criminal past

Sorcier/magicien – a wizard or evil doer

Receleur – a receiver of stolen goods

Gueux – a tramp

Maquereau – a pimp

Banqueroutier – someone who does not pay his debts

 

 

Words that commonly appear in insults against women. (3)

 

Putain – a slut or whore

Gueuse/coquine – a beggar woman

Carogne/garce/salope – a strumpet or woman of easy virtue

Bete – a stupid creature

Maquerelle – a procuress or Madame

Voleuse/fourbe – a thief

Bougresse – a bugger.  This term seems to be generic and has lost it’s sexual meaning.

Vilaine – a wretch

Mechante femme – a malicious woman

Sorciere – a witch

 

The use of Insults

 

The words that appear above were generally combined (two or three at a time) to produce an insult.  Although on occasion they were used in isolation.  Quite often the Canadiens added the word Sacre (damn or damned, an alternative is maudit) to one of the above to add effect, such as Sacre bougre (damned bugger).  Generally Canadiens were not sacrilegious and avoided uttering extreme religious insults.(4)  As for the provocation the rich and noble were generally set off by lack of social etiquette or respect of rank, the common people tended to be more practical requiring damage to property, an uncalled for comment, or actual violence to instigate a reply, which often included physical abuse as well.  As for the military, they required the least amount of provocation and particularly so when drinking in a Caberet or at a canteen, even the officers were quick to respond to event the slightest reproach.

 

The following are examples of original insults to give you some idea of what to aim at

 

Une bougre de sautrelle d’enfer – a bugger of a grasshopper from hell.

Sot et grand gourmande – a blockhead and monstrous glutton

Un vielle Ougenote et une vielle damneeet que le diable se chaufferoit d’elle – an old Huguenot and a damned old woman with whom the devil would warm himself.

Un pendard – one who should hang

Un fourbe, Un coquin et Un faisser de faux acte – a deceiver, a rogue and a falsifier of deeds

Un valet de bourreau – the lackey of a hangman.

Un bougre de coiton – a fornicating bugger.

 

Best of luck if you decide to try some of these out at the next event, but remember to keep it simple.

 

Notes

(1) – All cases appear in The Montreal bailliage and royal court records, Quebec prevote and Conseil souvernain/superieur, Trois-Riveres seigneurial court, Notre-Dame de Anges segneurial court and Louisbourg bailliage.  Also some cases appear in Robert-Lionel Sequin’s L’Injure en Nouvelle-France (Montreal, 1976).

(2) – Moogk, Peter, “Thieving Buggers” and “Stupid Sluts”: Insults and Popular Culture in New France’, William and Mary quarterly, vol. XXXVI, 1979, 525-47.

(3) – Ibid.

(4) – There are a number of ‘oaths’ in the Province of Quebec that relate to the eighteenth century language and are of a religious nature.  These are similar to using ‘Jesus’ or ‘Christ’ in the English language; Calice, Saint-ciboire, Tabernacle, Saint-sacrement and Hostie.  These all refer to sacred objects used in the celebration of Mass.

 

 

 

 

 

This looks to be an interesting site.  I have explored a part of it.  It is title Fop Fest, and is from an event in Quebec. – John

Revised 1-20-02

                                                                        

I recently cam across a source for the Treatise of Artillery, 1746.  This was reprinted in Canada some years ago.   Luckily for us, it did not make the best seller list.  I purchased mine for $25.00 plus shipping, which came to about $32.00.  I asked the book dealer if I could purchase in bulk, if I had need for more.  He has contacted me to tell me that more are available.

 

Please let me know if you want one.  I will be putting together an order for those who want them.  Contact me by email.  I will them for cost to whose who want to get in on this order.
