"The only outfit that was genuinely authentic was the 2nd North Carolina, led by the late George Gorman. They had hand-made wool trousers and jackets, and no two uniforms looked alike, ....George started using the term "farbie" to describe inauthentic garb.
.... George died in 1981 at the age of forty-five; by my reckoning he should get the credit for being the first "authentic" reenactor "
