Our October 2024 meeting guest was Jared Cornell, a Military historian, gunsmith, historical reenactor, firearms expert, and outstanding analyst of historical facts and theories as attributed by Michael E. Anderson in his book titled "FOOLED EVERYBODY" THE UTAH WAR 1857-1858 came dressed in several period uniforms and brought a huge assortment of firearms. Jared along with Michael E. Anderson created the Utah Living History Association to preserve American military history, including the Utah War, and they along with many other interested persons often present their uniforms, firearms including canons, tents and shelters, rations and mess gear, and any other equipment and personal items the soldiers of that time had to sustain themselves on long marches and encapments along with all of the support cattle and provisions hauled in wagons during their military campaigns. We were treated to an outstanding and eye-opening presenation.
