Description of Pictures: History of West Point:
Beginning with the garrisoning of West Point during the Revolutionary War, this display chronicles the Garrison of West Point and the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Exhibited artifacts range from the sword of Polish patriot Thaddeus Kosciuszko, who engineered some of West Point's early fortifications, to the modern Cadet uniform.
Famous graduates such as Sylvanus Thayer, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, John J. Pershing, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Omar Bradley are also featured.

2016 photos: Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
