Two Rev solders - one from N.H. Unit #4 in the green uniform, saw action just about everywhere - and the other in the blue & white which Gen. Washington wanted the troops to have - but they seldom did. Different states often provided different uniforms. .

Every year the Fort at No.4 goes kinda "off topic" in time frame - having a Revolutionary War weekend & even a Vikings weekend once a year. - Lack of enough F&I War near by - we do get a Mass. Unit most years. - This year a Revolutionary War Artillery Unit from R.I. came up, really knew their stuff - and they put on a damn good show. - They were only able to bring two 3# field pieces - lack of manpower - virus related. - The Mass. unit looked poorly dressed, to say the least - like a REAL Rev War foot soldier. ... I was there on a Saturday & the turn out was pretty good - considering a the virus etc. - The Sunday turn-out may have been better - often is.
