What Is This Formation?
This illustration was placed after the description of the death of Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1779-1813) who was killed during the Battle of York; is there any special significance? I don't know.
I don't know much about this event, but when I went to the source, I found an image of Henry Dearborn... pretty cool!! When I was young, all the 5th graders in our school visited the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan each Spring! Nice to learn a bit about Dearborn's namesake.
Dorene, I worked there part-time for 5 years -- mostly at night and on the weekends in the catering department (I had a full time job, too). Sometimes I couldn't believe they were paying me to work there! I chaperoned my daughter's 5th grade class on a field trip there. Still love the place.
when I attended a special trip there with the Girl Scouts (long ago, I think I was about 13) we got to stay in a dorm type facility on the grounds, and in the morning, they took us by horse & wagon to a restaurant & we had homemade blueberry muffins! It was wonderful!!
You may have been staying in Lovett Hall; that's where many of the wedding receptions were held. Occasionally the kids in the dorms weaved their way around our food trays we had set up in the back room! Much of that area around Lovett Hall has been remodeled and I barely recognize it!

ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine working there...
