SUMMARY:"Arkansas Volunteers: the 'Casual' Soldiers and Regular Infantry at Fort Gibson"
DESCRIPTION:On Saturdays\, May 2\, 9\, and 16\, from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m.\, the Fort Gibson Historic Site staff will host a come-and-go living history program to discuss the different types of soldiers who served at the military outpost. \nWith the outbreak of the Mexican-American War\, the regular enlisted soldiers at Fort Gibson were ordered to depart and march to Mexico\, leaving the fort manned by a new group of Arkansans: Arkansas volunteers. \nSeth Goff will be dressed as an Arkansas volunteer and will demonstrate the similarities and differences between Arkansas volunteers and their equipment\, alongside the equipment of a 1840s US Infantry soldier. \nThe program is included with admission. Interested guests should check in at the Palisade admissions office located across the parade square from the entrance gate. Dress accordingly for May weather in Oklahoma. \n \n
