Tiger and I were going to go camping but it finally decided to rain! We think instead we may visit the Hubbardton Battlefield. We've visited but never taken the walking tour of that Revolutionary War battlefield. Here's a synopsis:

In July of 1777, the American forces were retreating from the Battle at Fort Ticonderoga. Exhausted from the 23 mile march, they stopped to rest in Hubbardton, but British regiments were following them along the crude military road. The next morning of July 7th, 1777, the British came upon them and a battle ensued. From the British standpoint it was a victory, because they held the ground when the battle was over. But two-thirds of the American forces made it south to fight in the Battle of Bennington that August. Approximately 240 American soldiers were taken prisoner and another 100 lost their lives.

You should see the Bennington battlefield too. Actually, every August 16th there's a reinactment in Bennington, VT.

Lt. Governor Brian Dubie is a Green Mountain Boy who flew missions over the site of the World Trade Center post 9-11. He was a professional pilot at the time he decided to run for office. He had previously served many years on his local school board. He is a wonderful Christian family man. After the divisiveness of the Dean years and the horror of Civil Unions, Brian's pledge to us has been to restore "Freedom AND Unity" to our state. As leader of the Senate he is the first Lt. Governor in my memory to bring the Legislative session to a timely close. I pray for him daily.

Thank you! I just love what you are adding to our thread about your state. I was hoping that you would.

I enjoy the historical battle reenactments. We try to go to the Civil War reenactment in Fresno every October. It is touted as the biggest west of the Mississippi. As in your Revolutionary War reenactment, we can tour the encampments and talk with the soldiers who are historically "in character". But, unlike your reenactment which takes place on the actual battlefield, there were no Civil War battles fought in Fresno, only a few minor skirmishes fought in California during that war.

That's the way I enjoy learning history. Thanks for the link! :-)
