I think Yorktown was our favorite place of the three historic sites that we visited. This is one of the original colonies. It was not as commercialized as Williamsburg, and it felt more authentic. I was surprised when visiting one particular historic battlefield -- I thought this was only an area from the Civil War, and I was surprised to read that this was also the site of some battles from the Revolutionary War. Obviously it has been a long time since I studied American History, or I would not have been surprised by this info. We thought of Scott many times as we walked the battlefield sites, and looked at the many cannons. Some of these photos are especially for him, but I hope other people enjoy them too. It is a very special place.
