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
(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)
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 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.
(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

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.
