[Drum beating and cannon fire.]
Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is John a staff member and a Programs Manager here at Fort Meig's Historic Site, a War of 1812 battlefield and restored fort and I'm here to welcome you to a new and second series of episodes for Guns Across the Lakes. A channel which is exploring this, the Great Lakes region of North America and the crucial impact it had as a war zone in this tremendous clash of arms between the years 1812 and 1815. In our first series we allowed each site in our family to showcase their grounds and contribute their story in the overall narrative of this theater of combat on the front lines between the United States here and Canada and as staff members at these various institutions we gained an incredible sense of camaraderie and accomplishment from this undertaking and it inspired us to continue with new themes in the face of growing support from viewership in the online community this popularity and camaraderie has attracted new historical sites to Guns Across the Lakes
And we are more than happy to embrace them and have these new sites enrich our storytelling ability and add color and detail to our little historic record. So before we proceed with the focus of our second season it would be only fair to feature these new sites in their own episodes allowing them to introduce the significance of their ideas and properties to you. And it's our hope that you not only eagerly view this visual education but that it inspires you to visit all of our sites and gain for yourself a sense of the respect due to this tremendous story. It will work just as before each Friday throughout the fall we will launch a new episode and when this fresh round of introductions is complete I will return to push us into new territory and new themes for the second chapter of Guns Across the Lakes. We'll see you there huzzah!
