Battle of Rhode Island Site

as I said I didnt know what this site was about when I visited there but preparing this post i fould this onlinge

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

I dnt think my photos do the park justice, not sure if it just wasn't good light or me filling in time before heading to the Ednodontic Dental Doctor and my mind not really being on taking photos as much as it should have been

Let me admit I generally like to think I have a high threshold for pain, but when it comes to dentists I am a wreck, and on that day I was just going for an assesment so logically i know I shouldn't have bene stressed, but ohh I was and thats my excuse for the photos I am sharing .
