Yorktown Battlefield

I went to Yorktown the day after I went to Lee Hall. Now as we all learned in fourth grade, Yorktown was the site of the last major battle of the American Revolution. There have been some reports of paranormal activity here, and I took a tape recorder with me hoping to catch something. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon so of course I wasn't alone that day. I know I must have looked crazy to those people walking around that place talking to myself. I didn't find anything unusual, but I did take some nice photos. These are the earthworks closest to the Visitor's Center. I think they were originally British until either the Americans or French took them over:




See the dark shape at the top? It stunned me just now when I looked at it because I don't remember there being anyone there while taking it and it's just to dark to be a person. I got excited until I pulled up the photo, made it full screen and realized it was just a tree :-(

Anyway, back to the earthwork photos:





Here are some photos of Surrender Field. I hope I don't have to explain why it is called that:



And here are three of the Victory Monument at varying distances and detail:






Next up: We are going from the Revolutionary battlefield to a Civil War cemetery.
