About us
Today our recreated group of Claus' Rangers portrays what life was like as Indian Department officials, liaisons, rangers, civilians, distaff, and Loyalist Refugees.
Most of Claus' members have started in other mainstream units, but dissatisfaction with the in the lack of authenticity in these units led us to join together so we could enjoy living history experiences that more accurately reflected the true nature of 18th century life.
Our overall goal is to learn more about the men and women who fought and suffered through the "War of Independence" and we believe that the only way to do this is by emulating them to the best of our ability with our equipment, our portrayals, and our actions.
