I make a semi-respectable guide Val! We sure have history up this way! FYI, one of the brilliant Army engineers that worked on the fort was PGT Beauregard. He went on to do a lot of harbor and river work down in LA and some other stuff during the Rebellion (his artillery instructor was inside Ft Sumter and was CO of Ft Adams after the surrender, Major Anderson).

I am looking forward to visiting the fort. There is so much history right here in our own yards. Google the deerfield massacre or the Angel of Hadley a couple of interesting things from here. Val I hope you folks get a chance to visit up this way. Boston is a great spot to start with a walk on the Freedom Trail. Great for anybody who likes our country's history to experience. I have done it more than once.

Probably not really obvious from my pictures, but the ones in blue never seem to die! Not only did the rebels die, but they did it very convincingly!
Interesting Joe, hints of the events leading up to the British shipping the Acadians down to Louisiana.

Great pictures.
Last year was the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Lone Jack; one of the bloodiest battles in Missouri during the war. Had a big Civil War reenactment. It was great to watch; horrible to consider and contemplate. The MO militia won that one...again!
