Camp Sagamore

I'm really glad we chose to go to Camp Sagamore today because it was neat to be able to see the transition of William West Durand, design wise from Huntington to Uncas to Sagamore. It was very apparent that Sagamore was the last of the three because it was definitely the most extravagant. I enjoyed the accounts from our guide and it made sense why the buildings in Sagamore were so much bigger and more lavish because he wanted to stick it to J.P. Morgan when he had to give him Uncas. I also thought it was cool that today the actual land is considered private land but once you dipped your toe in the water you were in state territory. I wish we got to take tons of pictures though because the blacksmith shop and main camp were so cool!!
