Attention Universe: Fort Griswold (segment2)

[Dulcimerea]

For an accurate and highly detailed history (from original sources) of the battle, which is called either the "Battle of Fort Griswold" or the "Battle of Groton Heights", the best source is "History of New London, Connecticut" (1852) by Francis Manwaring Caulkins. Covers from 1612 - 1852.

This is the source from which almost all other accounts have been derived since its publication more than a century and a half ago. It's free ( PDF from scans) for download at Google Books. It's excellent.

This is a horribly scripted re-enactment. If anyone thinks this is the way it happened, you are horribly mis-informed!

I was there too, but they made us go with the brits (and I was with the Sons of the American Revolution)
