Lee Enfield Story (Wallaceburg Museum)

[butlersrangers]

gsimmons: The picture of Michigan National Guard/Spanish American War Veterans (in 1900 they would almost be synonymous) belongs to the Ypsilanti Historical Society (photo archives - viewable online). Their description: Spanish American War Veterans on Congress Street at the bridge. Parading west on Congress. Nicholas & Panek Upholstery Store. 1900 Winter - snow on ground. (I do not know Ypsilanti, well. I can see Tracks on street, so I suspect Rail Road or Inter-urban. I imagine Parade is at Thanksgiving or New Year's. It is obviously very cold with gloves and strange Rifle Carry. The men are leaning into wind or walking up slope).

I would wager the display at Wallaceburg is a lot more enjoyable than the very inaccurate video. James Paris Lee deserves better!
