Thanks Todd, is this a great board or what...?
Always figured the Acadians were dug into that fort too. But my knowledge of the campaign is light....obviously, come from the genealogy side. My five great grandfather went along with his soon dead father on that campaign. Ever since in that line at least one male of a generation has been named for my six great grandfather, killed in action. Must have been a long sad trip home for the young man. How do you tell your mother?
Still, don't have ties to the Acadians. My kin "invaded" Nova Scotia by sea from New Hampshire. The later ones from Scotland arrived after most Acadians were gone.
Was browsing Tartans by Air last night...just looking for an attractive tartan. Adding the Dutch Friendship to the wish list from seeing Robert's pics...
