In April of this year, I was at the Fort Frederick Market Fair in Big Pool, Maryland. Set up across from my tent/shop was Muzzleloader, The Publication for Traditional Black Powder Shooters. Jason Gatliff, the publisher, is a friend and he approached me to write articles within the magazine. I was honored to be asked, and it gives me an outlet to publish my research as well as provide information for the readers. Many know that I started out reenacting as a hearth cook, and evolved into starting - from scratch - a jewelry business to care for my rescue horses.
My first article for Muzzleloader was recently published in the September/October 2024 issue! I share a few images of it below, but please go and either purchase the magazine to read the article, or subscribe! The magazine has more information within it than hunting and muskets - but that is there too of course!
Part II coming out soon!
