The 231st Anniversary of the Battle of Kettle Creek in Washington County, GA. - a small reenactment that portrayed the clash of Patriots under Elijah Clarke and Loyalists under Colonel John Boyd. This particular event was marked by a blanket of snow that was unusual for southern Georgia.

Very interesting. I particularly like the young militia member. I notice he finds a tree or crotch to rest his rifle in when firing to better his aim. Or maybe to soften the kick.
