| The
primary purpose of this association is to establish and maintain a
practical working knowledge of the history, traditions, tools, mode of
living, etc., of the North American Frontiersmen, in the period spanning
1750 to 1843. This period is chosen as a time when individual knowledge,
courage and fellowship sufficed to master the challenges of living.
Further purposes are to establish and maintain a research archive of
information, artifacts, images, etc., in a form that is accessible to
present and future generations so that this knowledge is not lost to the
species. To further these goals, we intend to maintain an ongoing
program of living history, where we learn and teach the skills and help
develop the abilities that were needed in frontier life. Further
purposes are the promotion of liberty by preserving the right of all
free men to keep and bear arms; to help preserve our native wilderness
and wildlife by teaching and practicing realistic conservation; to help
establish trust and a true bond between our members; to help and teach
correct ways to those just starting into this way of life and share our
knowledge; to treat anyone showing a genuine interest with kindness and
respect, regardless of their membership status.
