Description | A letter from a soldier of the 11th VT, datelined Fort Saratoga, Nov. 11, 1862, says "on the east of the road was a level piece of ground, upon which Capt. Boynton proposed to have a game of goal, in which all joined and tried each others speed at running. This was a fine sport for us. It reminded us of old Vermont." |
Sources | Hyde Park (VT) Lamoille Newsdealer, Nov. 21, 1862. |
