Yessssssss!

Westchester County has a new website on the history of Fort Slocum, AKA Davids Island that is utterly fascinating. Ft Slocum, located off the coast of New Rochelle in Long Island Sound, was an army base from the 1860′s through 1965. It was a place where tens of thousands, including my Grandfather, shipped off to [...]
