Sons C and G, pretending to be General Washington, writing an important letter to one of his officers.
One of these circular oven units was built for each company, and then one man from each tent (of 6 or 8 men) would come and cook for his tentmates. There was no such thing as a camp cook back then.
This gentleman explained all the different types of artillery to us. In this picture he is talking about the 6" cannon.
Then he fired off a 4.5" mortar for us. It was VERY loud! (no live ammo in case you were wondering!)
We then learned about muskets, and everyone got a turn holding one. They were quite heavy. Here is L.
