Women Of The Revolutionary War: Camp Followers

Did you know that women were a big part of running a British encampment during the Revolutionary War? Reenactors Jane Pease and Christian Howlett are 18th-century reenactors who portray the live of two women in a British encampment. In this interview, they talk about the circumstances that would have lead to a woman to become a camp follower.

Thank you. I have just gotten in touch with a Rev War reenacting group. I had no idea the ladies would follow their husbands to the colonies. I think I have a good idea of forming my persona.
