About this Plog!

My Passion for History and Living History Reenactment has been to learn and educate others on how people lived and survived in the past. I am committed to help preserve history for our children and their children to come. To tell stories of our ancestors that is not known nor told in the history books. I am not a expert on history, so the post here are just what I found on the internet and found to be interesting. You still need to look for more research on your passionate historic topic.

1777 British Occupation of Newport event.

 Duchess Quamino was a pastry genius according to the folks of Newport back in 1770's.
After she gained her freedom from the William Channing family, she started her own bakery.

This August the Newport Historical Society asked me to portray Duchess in their reenactment of the 1777 British Occupation of Newport event. It was my pleasure to represent this great lady again.
I totaly got into the part by baking a couple of Duchess's famous Plum Cakes and setting up a beautiful afternoon tea table. Even the Rev. came to enjoy a spot of tea and my cake.
 As you know me, this is one of my specialties. 
 The Event Goers enjoyed my story and the lovely setup. I always enjoy telling story of woman who played a big part in American history.
