Unearthing a relic of war

Ninety-six-year-old Virgiline Jilson displays an American

revolutionary war bayonet plowed up by her late husband as he farmed

the land in the background of this photo. The Jilson property, located

in Lowman, NY, near Elmira, is the principal site of the Battle of

Newtown, which took place in 1779 during General John Sullivan's

campaign to punish Indians who were aiding British forces in the war.

The photo illustrated a magazine article covering a proposal for a

national park on the site. Cheers...Bill

In fact I think it's a good photograph, but when I see threes on a good photograph I add the correction factor! So, it is very good now!
