Fog ... crowds ... Patriotic Organizations ... members of Congress ...
bands .. reenactors ... crowds .... fog. That, in a nutshell, was
the spectacle that the 225th Anniversay of the Victory at Yorktown offered
to the American public. It was a well-attended event as the planners
forsaw that it would be. There was no lack of pageantry and enthusiasm.
The SAR began its celebrations early in the morning at Governor Thomas
Nelson's Gravesite, marched in The Parade, attended the ceremonies, then
ended their day in the company of Lafayette, Rochambeau, Washington, and
Governor Nelson at dinner. It was quite a day.
