UNIFORMS 1759 SCHEDULE LINKS PHOTOS


The King's request for additional troops to support the regular forces of the Crown resulted in the forming of Schuyler's Company of provincial forces.

The recreated Schuyler's Company, today, is a family of dedicated enthusiasts who attend French & Indian War events throughout the northeast. Our collective interest as reenactors, in general, is to promote. advance and encourage interest and education in colonial and early American history through living history demonstrations, and military or civilian historical reenactments. The unit actively supports historical sites through participation in living history events that recreate the French & Indian War timeframe.

In 1759 (the year we portray), Schuyler's Co. were involved in the campaigns against Ft. Ticonderoga and Ft. Niagara. These two, recreated, yearly events are attended each summer along with several other programs listed on our schedule.

The New York provincial forces were raised, equipped, paid and supplied by the colony. If sufficient forces could not be raised, then the counties were expected to "detach" men from their militia units to fill the provincial ranks.
We welcome you to contact us if you are interested in the hobby of re enacting. If you'd like to visit us, we can usually be found at one of the F&I events throughout New York colony.
