Put Your Musket in the Air if You Really Don’t Care

Remember the olden days when battles were waged with muskets, bayonets and cannons? We don’t, but some folks across the river in New Jersey do. Bryan took some photos as reenactors remembered how easily the British captured Fort Lee.

On November 20th, 1776 Lord Cornwallis captured Fort Lee. A victory for the British and a harsh blow to the American forces. 231 years later a group of very dedicated Americans celebrated this important historical event by donning breeches, weskits and tri-cornered hats while brandishing muskets. So fucking cool.
