had several occasions to meet Harrison Tyler at Sherwood Forest, his grandfathers estate on the James River in Virginia. We were doing Civil War reenactments at a Union fort that had been built along the river on the property. Nice guy to talk to. he used to visit the Union and Confederate camps in the evenings.
