(in message ): When I was teaching ROTC at U of Wyoming we had a field trip up to and around the Little Big Horn and the Battle of the Rosebud which took place before Custer's fight with the same force that defeated Custer. We had an Army Historian along who gave us all the details and background. The Rosebud we toured on horseback, my only time on a horse. Then we followed Custer's march to the Little Big Horn and toured the Battlefield. It was a highlight of my ROTC time and something I will never forget.

I went on a (archeological) dig for college credit about 10 years ago at a French and Indian War site. I found a couple of Georges (second's IIRC) and what was a pouch of musket balls. My site was at a fire pit, so we also got a lot of animal bones. I'd love to tour New York and the New England states someday. I'd also love to take part in an archeological dig, though my old bones are not comfortable with the idea of landing on the ground. There is a guy here in Hope Mills (right next to Fayetteville, North Carolina) who goes to places where they're digging up the ground for various kinds of construction and digs. He's found various relicts from the Civil war era as there was a Southern army camped in that area during the war, or at least that is my understanding. I should look into the civil war history in this area more completely, as one of Rob's ancestors, fought in the 19th Virginia Infantry, which was sent down to fight in North Carolina. I'm sorry, I don't remember much about it, my brain is mush today. Pam S. |
