The pile of Virginia vacation pics continues. These are from the battlefield known as the battle of Yorktown. This is the place that General Cornwallis surrendered and the fighting in the American Revolution ended.
Yorktown was mostly a siege, with the Colonials and the French entrenched around the British troops.
According to the info we got on site, most of the nastiest fighting took place in two mini forts, called redoubts. The French and Colonial trenches were separated by redoubts nine and ten. The Americans took one and the French took the other. Then the two lines were joined and the only hope for the English was to try crossing the York river to their rear. They tried, but the weather didn’t cooperate and they lost their boats. At that point they were just plain screwed.
