Dear Noel:
I meet most of the criteria of being a FCFer, except I DO NOT wear wool on a
100 degree day thats why they wore linen. I wear a linen look cotton shirt when
I go back to those days but its not the same as forgeting it all and getting
into shorts and t-shirt like us modern day heathen do ( oops watch what I call
myself).
To share a little dry humor with you- when I worked at Old World Wisconsin at
the Schulz Farm I sometimes had to interpret the spinning and weaving room when
there were no women folk around to do the womens work (here come the flames). I
had to expalin to the public that the Civil War soldiers on the Union side hade
to wear linen and wool long johns called linsey-woolseys. People often found
that rather amusing.
