Early inhabitants of the region included both the Mahican and the Mohawk people. The region now known as Fort Edward has historically been a transportation hub because of its location along the Hudson River waterway, which…

I thought it was odd to now just start giving us food when we're in the middle of nowhere…

    In my last few weeks at Harpers Ferry, a man in his mid-fifties walked into the Provost Marshal’s office. He was a big man, maybe six foot four. Bald, overweight, wearing a red polo shit and sagging cargo pants with sunglasses pressed into his forehead. I was already talking to a family from the Carolinas interpreting the experiences of the town’s citizens after the war, when across the former slave states Provost Marshals were replaced by agents of the newly formed Freedman’s Bureau. They were good visitors, they asked excellent questions.…
