More photos of the Kawagoe warriors from yesterday's post.

Cedar Point's Frontier Town has continued to evolve over the years, with the addition of new attractions and the removal of others, but that is material for a future article. This article covers the creation of one of the most unusual themed areas in any park in the world, an area of American culture, crafts and traditions that perhaps could only work in America's second oldest amusement park, Cedar Point. This is the Frontier Trail. In 1971, Cedar Point opened a walking trail connecting the new "Million Dollar Midway", (actually just an extension of the original Midway) with Frontier Town. Guests could finally walk to Frontier Town and not have to rely on the C.E. & L.E. Railroad or Frontier Lift to visit this increasingly-popular area of the park. Cedar Point could have just provided a nice-surfaced walking path wandering through the forest, but decided to make this area an attraction itself. Original log cabins from all over northwest Ohio were dismantled and reconstructed along the Trail, new structures were constructed to augment these historic cabins, and an important tribute to the early pioneers that settled the wilderness that became Ohio was created.
"Private, Clinch Rifles Georgia Militia, 1861." Artist Don Troiani. The Clinch Rifles were formed in Augusta, Georgia, in 1852. Named in honor of a hero of the War of 1812, Gen. Duncan Clinch, the company was typical of the numerous elite militia organizations that could be found in the large cities of the United States in the decade prior to the Civil War. These companies were often composed of the best and the brightest young men of the urban areas, most of whom had sufficient financial backing to outfit themselves in the height of military fashion.
