Thane and best buddy Liam participated in the re-enactment of a Revolutionary War skirmish that occurred in Machias in 1775. The event was held in conjunction with Margareta Days, a festival celebrating the first naval battle of the War for Independence. This battle was fought on the Machias River, and several of the re-enactors are direct descendants of men who fought that day.
The skirmish started on a quiet afternoon while kids were playing in town, their parents toiling at their farms, homes and places of business.
Suddenly, a small regiment of soldiers break into the town square to arrest a local.
The unfortunate man is bound in chains as the children rush off to inform their parents.
The town is outraged, and quickly form a militia to rescue the man. Fighting ensues.
The Redcoats suffer losses, and the imprisoned man is rescued.
