He fought the good fight, he kept the faith.

The K.o.F.F. at General McAllister's May 23, 2009
Erik B. Anderson - Belvidere Cemetery, May 21, 2009

On November 8, 2008, after the Belvidere War Memorial Veteran's Day Ceremony, I saw a small house for sale about 100 yards from this great tomb. I inquired about buying it, even though I was not employed and my income was just a disability check. I also inquired about the story of who was buried at this place. Unfortunately, the house was sold when I returned in December, but I did get this letter:

General George C. McAllister

I think it's pretty cool. Don't you?

Warren County is full of forgotten history.

Warm Regards,

Erik B. Anderson
Independence Township, New Jersey
