making an entrance

Let's just say that in Colonial Williamsburg they know how to make a grand entrance.

Govornor Lord Dunmore (just before the declaration of independence by the brave, bold men) had the best ride of all.

Mrs. Washington rode in style as well, and was most gracious.

General Washington rode in to encourage the troops before the battle of Yorktown.

Again, Lord Dunmore makes a grand arrival at the capital, but a mumbling crowd of patriots could be heard all around.

These brave boys arrived with their fifes and drums along with Benedict Arnold (AFTER he joined the British).

And Thomas Jefferson, though he made his entrance on foot, walked as tall and proud as any honorable man of character.
