For those who may not know, or for anyone looking for great entertainment  , the DVD of last summer's event, The Siege of Niagara, is available at http://www.siegeofniagara.com/.
You might note the Frenchman wearing the red tuque on the DVD's cover. He is also prominently featured in the surrender scenes. You won't want to miss that! |

Actually, I knew the Indian. We are in the same unit in the south, the Southern Indian Department. He was making jokes and I was trying hard not to laugh. |

It's definitely you. I had spotted you and was watching all the while the Indians were inspecting you. You had a silly grin on your face. You looked like you were trying to win them over with your charm!  It must have worked, if they didn't take your jewelry.
I have another photo that was taken right after the Indians finished with you, and you are standing right next to the guy with the purple hat in it, too, as further proof. |

That "orangeish red color" is madder. The yarn was hand-dyed by a lady in Memphis with actual madder root (three dyeings to get the depth of color) and knitted by a lady in Wisconsin.
Hard to tell if it is me. I see John, and Randy, and Rick, and Joseph Privott is the Indian on the left. |

Here is a photo of the British-allied Indians checking out Fitz's jewelry! He is directly behind the Indian in the center. You can just see the top of his hat, which is an orangeish red color.

Here is a shot that shows the scope of the entire surrender ceremony. With hundreds of soldiers and campfollowers there, it was huge!

No, I had a shirt on. But I did get perused by a number of the British allied natives. Seems I was wearing my quahog wampum necklace. Ever been closely looked over by an Indian? A hostile one? |

When you surrendered, Fitz, did your armpits get sunburned? |

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... it's that Miss-Yer Lay-Fran-Say in that goofy red hat again. I know all about that!
I still have not watched my DVD yet. Can't wait.....
