| Morgan's Riflemen |
Southern California reenactors Morgan's Riflemen will be featured in an upcoming episode of the Monday-night TNT drama Rizzoli & Isles. The episode "Rebel Without a Pause" is scheduled to air on 15 August 2011 at 10:00 p.m.
Apparently, you'll know Morgan's when you see them. As the friend who sent me this information pointed out, "The 'dead' fellow is not ours. Nor are the Redcoats. We are the 'backwoods scum.'"
What could be more fun than dressing up as "backwoods scum" with a giant rifle on national TV?
About Morgan's Riflemen
Morgan's Riflemen of California are dedicated to preserving the memory and lifestyle of Revolutionary War Rangers and the Riflemen of Daniel Morgan, through living history.
Starting in 2002, a small group of living history rangers began camping and participating in events and decided to model the riflemen that served under Daniel Morgan. Some of the riflemen are Sons of the American Revolution, though this is not required; all of the men love family and country. They are family oriented and, at most events, spouses, children and dogs are present. The Distaff women are a great support and enjoy their own activites and always cook amazing meals.
Morgan's Riflemen engage in living history events and scouts in the Southern California area. They actualy camp, dress, cook and shoot in they ways of 1770's colonials and the Revolutionary War ranger backwoodsmen. Although not "reenactors," the riflemen do participate in local timeline events and show the public how our forefathers lived in these formative years of our nation. To participate, recruits must qualify with period correct gear, skills and sharp shooting.
