Day 284 Blacksmith

I got to see a demonstration by the blacksmith at Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island today. What a master craftsman and interpreter! One of the other people there described him as being almost poetic in his descriptions of the life and work of a blacksmith during the heyday of the fort. Here, he's showing off the "horse on a shoe" he made while talking with us.
