The Battle of Rhode Island Site

Good Morning and have a good day

I missed the fall colors this year with the health issues I have so sharing some fallish shots from last year and a visit to this site in Rhode island.

So instead I was looking through my photos from about this time last year and came across these shots I will share today

I had a Oral Surgeons appointment at 8 Am one morning in Portsmouth Rhode Island, and headed there early and went first to a beach for sunrise, then was driving around filling in time before my appointment and came across the Battle of Rhode Island site

A little bit about it

The Battle of Rhode Island Site is the partially preserved location of the Battle of Rhode Island, fought August 29, 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. The battle took place in the town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, located on Aquidneck Island north of Newport, and was the only major action of the war that took place in Rhode Island. It was also significant as the only battle of the war in which an entirely segregated unit of African-American soldiers fought. At the time of the action, the 1st Rhode Island Regiment consisted of companies of locally recruited African Americans and Native Americans with white officers. The two main areas associated with the battle were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974

and now for a few photos there with some early fall colors
