This was one busy weekend for the 4th. Highly-placed sources indicate that members of our club constituted a large portion of the Union presence at Evergreen Cemetery's "Echoes of Blue and Grey" on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Recruiting Sergeant Hicks and the excellent Miss Dorries represented the 4th and the WCWA at Snoqualmie's Railroad Days, spreading about the upcoming "Battle for Snoqualmie". Today, Capt. Jones, Corporal Van Hoek, and Mr. Van Hoek joined members of the 20th Maine to continue the effort. Our union lads demonstrated their marching--which, we understand, is a very useful skill for the infantry--and a first-place presenter ribbon appeared on the group's canvas shelter. The evident esteem of the citizens of Snoqualmie bodes well for attendance at the reenactment in two weeks.
