Yorktown Part II







I guess I'm able to post more, so I'll finish my Yorktown stuff. The folks you see here are walking towards the English defenses. If you stood on them you'd come to a large field and spot the American defenses. Eventually the Americans took over a few of the remote English defenses and used them to launch mortars, several of which struck the Nelson house as pictured in Part I. The American's final charge was quite brave, and the English thought better of trying to fight them off. Here I am at the Victory Monument. The top (not in view but pictures in Part I) was damaged by lightning in the fifties I think and hadda be replaced. Oh, yeah, one more shot of the tents Washington used during the Seige.
