“A Veteran Speaks: Oscar Kemp of the 115th NY and the Grand Army”
*Sponsored by Terry Morris Ford*
The Civil War is one of the most studied conflicts in American history, but much of the emphasis is on battles, leaders and soldiers during the four years of war. What happened to the survivors? What were their stories and how did they transition back into civilian life? Many of the veterans joined fraternal organizations for support, the largest being the Grand Army of the Republic. Join Civil War veteran Oscar Kemp (portrayed by descendant and Grant Cottage staff member Ben Kemp) as he recounts his war experiences with the 115th NY and then discusses the experience of veterans after the war, and the Grand Army of the Republic.
Wednesday, September 14, 2022 at 01:06PM Thank you Kathy for giving " Blue" a home after many years of waiting! So... Kathy and I had not seen each other in a few years. She came to a Saratoga equine shop where I had my equine image "Blue" for sale. She loved the image and then discovered it was by an old friend... Me! She contacted me to buy it. It had disappeared from the store!!! It took a while but because of a store move it too had been put away . I got the call. They found "Blue!" I went to retrieve it. I then personally delivered it to Kathy out in the Finger Lakes. She is a Happy Camper. Thank you girlfriend!
PS- I have a number of enlarged and framed equine images for sale. Call for appt to view. Limited edition framed images make great gifts for home, birthdays, anniversary celebrations!
Wednesday, September 14, 2022 at 12:47AM In 2022, author / historian Don Rittner has finally produced his HUGE "History of the Altamont Fair." The fair spotlights three counties - Schenectady, Albany, and Greene County. Car racing and horse racing were big attractions back in the day but finally faded away in favor of the current programs which focus more on the agriculture. Don included numerous Atamont Fair photos from Sues collection.
Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 12:07PM 2022 - The last four covers of "Your Hometowne Magazine" have featured my photography. It's been too much fun! Friends and family have sent congrats! Cheryll Hill is blown away by my photography work. I am blessed! I hope to buy a new yacht and go sailing with her with this gig... or at least become locally rich and famous.
