We went to Fort Niagara for a re enactment of a battle. It was in the middle of the summer and the soldiers were dressed in the original wool suits. Of course it was hot and humid. Thanks for this thread, there is alot of history here that I don't even know about.
If you saw a lost-looking white van driving around at about 12:00 one August night in 2000, that was us! We never could figure out how we got there.
That's right about in the middle of the two stories.
I've been to Civil War reenactments and you get a small appreciation for what those men went through (clothing wise) when you see those heavy uniforms worm in heat and humidity.
Good morning Mayor. While reading this I thought it would be on some of the same ground you walk on! Neat.
