While I never post articles about reenactments, I thought that this had enough unique material to make it worthwhile.

And how many thought that Vermont was an original of the 13 colonies? When asked to name them, many folks pick Maine and Vermont, but neither was.

You know them, of course: MA, NH, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA, NC, SC, GA

Kinda reminds me of that humorous early episode of “Gilmore Girls” when the town is gearing up for their Revolutionary War re-enactment of an incident when the local militia formed up for battle against an advancing redcoat element that never showed up.

We’ve been there. Nice place. Not too far off the beaten path (US Rte 4).

The Vermonters were joined by regiments for Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

FROM Massachusetts and New Hampshire???

I used to go there to visit when I was a kid, my Grandparents had a summer home on Beebee Pond, the first lake after Lake Bomoseen on hwy 30. Beautiful state, wack people.

I believe at the time Maine was considered part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Vermont was considered part of New York, although New Hampshire disputed that.

The British held the field and more than 200 prisoners at the end of the battle, but it is still celebrated as the action bought the rest of the Continental Army time to escape.

Where's the obligatory, "but their morale was still high," that seems to follow up so many battle descriptions? :-)
