Battle of the Hook Pre Show, Liberty's Kids 35, James Armistead




Battle of the Hook Pre Show.  Liberty's Kids episode number 35, James Armistead.  We are now only a few short days away from the event of the Battle of the Hook here in Gloucester, Virginia.  If you have not heard about this event until now, what rock have you been hiding under?  This is the event of the year.  An American Revolutionary War Reenactment and one of the largest and most complete ever seen in one location.  If you are just hearing about this now and you have the time to spare and do not mind traveling, we highly recommend it.  The are here is sold out of rooms but Williamsburg still has rooms left and is only about a 30 minute drive away along one of the most incredible roads in the nation.

Below are directions on how to get to Gloucester from the main points around Virginia.

Liberty's Kids 16, One Life to Lose - Battle of the Hook Pre Show





Liberty's Kids episode number 16, One Life to Lose.  These are the events that occurred and led to the Battle of the Hook in Gloucester, Virginia which was part of the battle strategy for the siege of Yorktown, Virginia where we won the major victory of the American Revolution.  In October there is a commemorative American Revolution re enactment that will be held in Gloucester, Virginia.  We are doing everything in our power to promote this event.  It is shaping up well above even our own expectations of what the event will recreate for period surroundings and engagement.

  The planning committee has done one of the most outstanding jobs we have seen in producing this event and are all to be commended for their efforts.  We will be showing just how extensive a job they have been doing soon.  In the mean time, we will show you how to get to this event.



Gloucester, Virginia Crier, Battle of the Hook Directions from Chuck Thompson

Look up your directions on Google maps and print them out early and place them where you will find them when the time to come to the event is at hand.

Here is a new promo video that is well done.  (Just wish the rider was crying that the British were coming, but that was Paul Revere so I understand why it was not done).
