RE: Dave Taylor's Great Adventure
Dave -

I admire your talents - and they are many! You are a great historian and researcher. "Living" the history as authentically as possible is a great learning tool, trust me. In my lifetime in order to "know" history better, I've learned to harness and plow with a horse; a valuable lesson which I used for over a month; not easy. I've lived outside for 5 days in 105 degree heat, lived outside for 3 days in 25 degree cold (and 6 inches of snow to boot!), learned to ride sidesaddle (again, not easy - I'll stick like Dr. Mary Walker, to riding cross saddle, thank you!), harnessed horses and driven carriages; cooked over an open fire, slept outside for I don't know how long - the list goes on....

My point is that living history is really learning history! Your wonderful endeavor really took advantage of that - learning not only how JWB subsisted in the wilds; but how Victorian people in general lived - a very valuable lesson indeed! And thanks for educating all of US with your wonderful videos! I've downloaded and saved every one.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions! And KEEP GOING! Next time we want to see you go across the Potomac!
