There was a July 4 ceremony today at New Haven's Grove Street Cemetery honoring the greatest of all the (many) Connecticut relatives of William T. Sherman. This one was at the grave of Roger Sherman (OK, the relationship was pretty distant) the only quadruple signer of the four great papers of state of the United States. His grandson Roger Sherman Baldwin is buried next to him. Baldwin was the courtroom defender of the Amistad captives, not the 19th century ambulance-chaser of the movie but one of the most famous attorneys in the country.The reenactor on the horse is David Loda, portraying George Washington's ADC David Humphreys. The horse is Huckleberry, portraying..who knows?
