[left that other site]

I used to live near a large tract of land in Readville, MA which was the site of FT Meigs, where the Mass 54th Colored Regimenbt trained.

I have played the organ at the Blue Hill Community Church, which was founded to minister to the soldiers there.

If you watch “Glory” carefully, you will see the words “Readville Ma” when it fades to the scene where Denzel Washington and others are training.

It is now swampy watershed land for the Blue Hills, and is a Bird Sanctuary, but we used to ride our bicycles through there and call it “The Bug Sanctuary” LOL

Some of the bugs were as big as birds.

Thanks, ML, for the personal additions.
