Forum for early American life.
 

I would like to invite everybody here to Lost In Time, a forum dedicated to life in early America. It covers blacksmithing, timberframing, and pretty much anything that the first settlers to America would have done. This is a new forum, so there are many areas to be developed, so if this something that interests you stop by and contribute and make suggestions. I am trying to keep history alive, as well as learn the history of other parts of the country. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the forum.

I'll certainly be giving this forum more than the quick glance that is all I have time for today! Looks good, Dave.

This isn't like a treehouse with a "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" sign, is it? :nono: Hope you are planning to have boards for some of the traditional women's skills too and perhaps one for "olden days" family life topics. :hobbyhors

Looks like an interesting place to visit & learn from.
How about a thread for the women folk & home?

Looks good, I will be back to check it when I have a bit more time.

Can Canadians play too? :)

Everybody is allowed here! This is why I posted this in here, I don't know what everybody would like to see. I assume things like weaving or spinning would be popular. I am planning to have a Colonial Kitchen section as well. There is a suggestion box in the Q&A section, just post your ideas in there. I am glad to hear that people like the forum. :dance: :dance:


Dave

Yes, Canadians are welcome. :) I figure that life in Canada probably wasn't a lot different from life in the US at that time, just colder. ;)


Dave

I like the idea of a forum focusing on early American/colonial life. This is an absolutely fascinating time in our country's history, and there were so many trades going on. I would love to see some place like Williamsburg where reenactors do things in the traditional, authentic way. I don't possess a lot of skills that would date to that time, but I do have some knowledge of how some things were done.

I would also join readily if there were a ladies/home type forum or two.

Thank you ~ I will certainly visit. :)

I still need suggestions for the requested "ladies/home" topics. If you want a new board, just put a suggestion in the suggestion box please, and I can set it up.


Dave

Can Europeans join in the fun too? One that weaves, knits and makes wine?

Sure! I have a "Textiles" board setup. I will be constantly editing and adding boards to suit users needs.

Good work Dave..I've observed that a large number of country folks believe they were born into the wrong century,and have great love and respect for earlier times. Odds are this Forum will grow and become a favorite. I couldn't find a listed subject that I wasn't keenly interested in...Glen

How about gardening?

Dave,

I registered and then changed the e-mail address. I never got the email to re-activate my account. Can you delete my account & I'll re-register? I registered as Wendy.

Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Dave,

I could possibly help you with woman's things, for many years I was a Rev War reenactor and studied extensively on women in the 18th Century. Please PM me and let me now how I can help you!

Thanks to everybody who visited and joined. I really appreciate it. You are helping to make LIT what it is. :)


Dave

waiting for my email to confirm registration. Looking forward to seeing this.

Dave, I am unable to register for some reason. I keep getting a screen telling me to validate my e-mail or one telling me I need to type in my user name. Can you help? I registered before and never received an e-mail, so I re-registered thinking I might have typed in my e-mail address wrong as I have not had this one long and sometimes type my old one by habit. Thanks, I'm looking forward to using the forum.

All pending accounts have been activated. Sorry for the trouble. I have been having trouble with the autosend feature.


Dave

Looks good :)

I just joined, looks really interesting. Thank's for taking the time to set it up and admin it :D

Looks great can't wait to get my account activated .






Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

I'm very interested too! I'll check it out right away. thanks!

hexenmutter, you should have an activation email. If you have trouble, you can post in the guest area at LIT. Thanks.


Dave

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your contributions. :)
