RAMBLINGS
FROM THE EDITOR
Reenactment
season has begun. Well, at least in ernest. We’ve had a couple
events already but this is the month when things take off. The weekend
of the 20th I’ll be just down the hill at Burnaby Village for the weekend,
and on the 28th of June, I will be heading north to Barkerville for a week.
We have our bedroll out and airing –good t’ing d’weather she is kloshe
today—and have pulled all the 19th century clothing out of the closet to
decide who is wearing what.
And
you think to yourself, “Has the cheese finally fallen all the way off her
cracker . . .?”
Nope.
I
now have two personas. Mary Huston, my original one, the 40-something
Métisse who delights in shock value for the sake of shock value, is gouing
to be with me for a long time. Being fictitious let’s me be her
regardless of how old I get, and Fort Nisqually absolutely delights in
having Mary Huston at their events. There are, however, events where,
historically, the Mammy Yokum-esque Mary would not have attended, and even
if she did, she would be horribly out of place. The mid-19th century
British Columbia was a deeply class conscious place. And regardless of
how much Mrs James Douglas aka Lady Amelia Douglas valued her Métisse
servant and the comfort afforded by having someone around whom Mrs D could
simply be herself, there would have been places she would not have taken her
earthy Métisse servant. 1. Because it just was not done, and 2.
Amelia almost cost James his position with the HBC by showing up looking
more like her Cree mother than she did her Irish father. Enter
Mrs Arthur Bushby.
Mrs
Arthur Bushby née Agnes Douglas, is the third daughter of the Douglases
(Amelia gave birth to 13 but only 5 lived to adulthood), the Douglases being
James Douglas and Amelia Connolly, who are remembered best as Governor Sir
James, and Lady Amelia Douglas; James was the first governor of British
Columbia. Agnes was engaged for three years to Arthur Bushby, an
Englishmen serving as private secretary and clerk of the court to Judge
Begbie; they married in May of 1862, and Arthur was promoted to Registrar
General of British Columbia (it’s good to be the governor’s daughter).
I chose Agnes because she was a free spirit in a time when this behavior was
frowned upon and a “good husband” the cure. What makes this fun is
that the group has an Arthur Bushby and a Judge Begbie, and though I’ve
only been Agnes for a short time, we’ve have some real fun being the
Douglases and the Bushbys.
As
I’ve said before, reenactment is a whole lot of fun. And, we’re
throwing a fancy dress ball this fall. The group enacts the time
period between 1858, when the Royal Engineers arrived in British Columbia to
finish cutting the boundary line between the US and Canada (they were the
English half of the North American Boundary Commission in the mid 19th
century, and 1863, when those who were returning to England left. The
ball this fall (November 1st) is the Farewell Ball of the Royal Engineers,
and we’re giving those who are leaving a grand send off. If you are
interested in things like Victorian Balls and/or costume parties check out
our web page at http://www.royalengineers.ca/grandball.html and if you
decide it looks like a fun thing to do, let me know. We have room for
200 people at the New Westminster Armory (tickets are $40CA/$25US), plus
we’ve made a deal with the hotel right across the street for a double room
for the price of a single ($79 Canadian). 1863-appropriate clothing is
encouraged, but modern formal wear—including military dress—is
completely and perfectly acceptable.
All
I gotta do now is learn to waltz.
