Union Soldier Adds Authenticity

Your tour of Fort Clinch may be overseen by an authentic-looking and acting Union soldier. This interesting character brings the history of Fort Clinch to life. He plays the part so well that he will admonish the ladies for "improper dress" of the times and whip out an old tattered photograph of a woman properly dressed for the year 1864. He proclaims the woman to be his wife, and is proud she is a decently-clad woman who knows how to dress herself.
