Battle of the Hook, 2013 Art Prints and Photos













































































































































We have not had much time to update this site as we are working on going through all the photos and videos from the battle of the Hook that just took place last weekend and we are trying to get as much content out for everyone as fast as possible.  We have over 6,000 pictures and about 10 to 15 videos.  At the moment we have over 300 pictures up on Flickr besides the 60 we had up previously.  We also have about 200 on Pinterst and over 100 up on Tumblr under Battle of the Hook, 2013.  We are working on getting more up as fast as we can.

Battle of the Hook, Ending Show, Liberty's Kids, 38, The Man Who Wouldn't Be King










The Battle of the Hook event is now over and was spectacular.  We have presented Liberty's Kids episodes 1 through 36 as a pre show to the event.  The Battle of the Hook is an event during the American Revolution that was a part of the siege of Yorktown, Virginia and occurred just before that siege.  So Liberty's kids helped to tell the story of events that led up to this battle.  We are now finishing up the remaining Liberty's Kids videos as a salute to the incredible event that just took place here in Gloucester, Virginia.  Today is Liberty's Kids episode number 38, The Man Who Wouldn't Be King.  George Washington had an opportunity to become the King of this nation but refused to accept any title of nobility.

  When the new US Constitution was drafted and for the first one hundred years of our nation, titles of nobility and groups and or classes were not recognized by our government.  Progressives came in and forced changes and now we are told that capitalism is failing because it does not work.  Actually, it's the slow communist infiltration's into our system that has put wedges into capitalism and the American way of life that is failing as we are all forced to bear the burdens of groups and class warfare.  We have been studying the laws and codes of various states and we see how groups and classes have altered and placed wedges and burdens on all the people of this nation with weasel worded laws and codes that work directly against the people whom are supposed to be served and protected.  Now we are hunted at numerous levels.  A great example of being hunted by our own government are animal control laws.  When man puts animal rights over the rights of his fellow man, that is designed as a form of hunting and extinguishing groups and classes of people.  How do you protect yourself from being hunted in this case?  Do not own any animals.

Battle of the Hook, Ending Show, Liberty's Kids, 37, Born Free And Equal





The Battle of the Hook, American Revolutionary reenactment is now over, however, our ending show still has a few more episodes and we have plenty of stories to tell for some time to come.  So there should be no disappointments.  The only disappointment one could have is having missed this superb event.  Early indications are showing that this has been the nations largest American Revolutionary battle reenactment.  The event was spectacular with land, sea and cavalry battles unmatched by any other we have ever seen all in one location at one event.  Everyone who participated must be commended for an outstanding job.  They created the time machine that truly brought anyone who attended this event back to the time of the American Revolution itself.

  With that said, please enjoy Liberty's kids episode number 37, Born Free and Equal.  Unfortunately, in this modern day and age, the issues of being born equal has been for the most part robbed of us for it's original intentions.  What is not known these days about American History is that what being born equal, the meaning is one where no groups or titles were to be recognized by either our government nor our court system.  We all know that groups control both of these areas of the US these days and dare I say in violation of the original Constitution?  I dare say it but few will ever understand it.  Groups also control titles such as attorney, doctor, CPA and so on.  These were only considered professions with no group standings during the early days of this nation.  Call yourself an attorney today and try practicing law without a union pass and some union folks will pay you a visit very quickly and charge you with violations to their union laws.  The bar association is not a state  agency in any state that we have ever seen.   But we are not attorneys and not looking for a visit from the union folks.  So much for being born equal under the Constitution that has been usurped by tyrants.

Battle of the Hook, More Photos From 2013 Event Including House Fire

We still have not managed to figure out our final count, but our estimate so far is over 6,000 photos taken and about 6 to 8 videos.  3 Videos are in full 1080P HD and include the burning of the farm house on Sunday's battle reenactment.  It's going to take us months to go through all the content we have and several years to even begin to share it.  What we can tell you is that the planners in our own opinion, really understated what to expect.  This was truly time travel into history and as close as anyone can ever come to living what life was once like during the colonial era.

  This was the type of event one always expected Yorktown to produce and has failed to come anywhere near close to producing.  It blew Colonial Williamsburg out of the water for historical interpretations and we take nothing away from Colonial Williamsburg by saying that.  We love CW and would not trade it for anything, but they can not even produce an event of the magnitude that Gloucester just pulled off for the second time and with more flash, flare and graciousness that was put into this event.  This second event proved even better than the first.

  We asked the question, will there be a Battle of the Hook event again next year?  The answer is no.  What we learned was that the 2008 event was meant as a one time event.  Questions kept being asked and requests for a second event finally overwhelmed those involved in the first event.  So it was determined to hold one more event.  18 months went into the planning of this event for those not aware of this fact.  Warren Deal, Stephanie Heinatz and all others must be commended on an incredible job.

  We were further informed that to even consider another event, would take at least 4 years to put together again as there is no way to get all of these people back again each year as they have commitments to other locations for reenactments.  The question of continuing the tradition was not ruled out when we kept digging.  On that same note, this is considered to be the last event of it's type as well.  So only time will tell if there will ever be another event like this here.  We did put a bug in the ear to consider a Bacon's Rebellion event that did take part on the grounds of Warner Hall.  Again, only time will tell what comes up.  Now for the much awaited photos our headline promised.
