Sometimes, even making the title bigger just does not do justice to the event we witnessed the weekend of October 12 - 13, 2002. Everything about this event was grand, and even the salty old timers from the Bicentennial days admit this one was huge. Everyone has heard of those Magic Moments, when everything just seemed as close as possible to have actually been there. Even though we outnumbered the British by roughly 20%, it was still awe inspiring to see a continuous line of red crossing the horizon as they marched out, then filling the entire battlefield from left to right as we advanced to engage them. Never had we seen so many regulars, Highlanders and Hessians at one time. It was as if we had been transported back to October of 1777 to engage General Johnny Burgoyne's redcoat army. Many special thanks to Kristy, who spent several hours "digitizing" out the press and photographers that seemed to infect every battle picture. Due to her superb efforts, we are pleased to present you battle pictures that are virtually untouched by modern distractions.
