To most Kingstonians, living beneatb tbe Citadel of Upper Canada meant safety, pros- perity, entertainment and ro- mance. dust for a morrent, imagine that you are living in the town of Kingston in the decade belore Confederation. It was a bandsome, growing, ship- building town tucked into tbe comner ot Lake Ontario. But above all, it was a maîlitary town. Since 1812, wben British troops first garrîsoned Fort Henry to protect the town and its watertront from American invaders, Kirîgston bad been very welfortified. Now tbe. hli!top tort and a (tiof' s'maller towers stretched out1' aloniig the shoreline, witb guans poînting in every direcfti. AIl othem were manned by scarlet-coated British sold- îers, making Kingston tbe safest place in Upper Canada, Naturally, you depended upon the garrison at Fort Henry for protection in war- time, but you found tbc troopsý were just as important ini peacetime. For instance, if you were a farmer or grocer, you tound you could boost your profitsý by selling tresb fruit andve- tables to soldiers to sujpý- ment their grim diet of bread and soup. If vou were a craftsman or sbopkeeper, your goods îaný, services were also in deman. Soldieis at Fort Henry wer Mrin McLay can help you kep thoseprmises you 've vmade o yurelf.

Kingston was also tbe place to go for fun and trolic. Taverns and bouses of ill- repute bad a heyday wben Fort Henry was in garrison. Now, suppose your tavern or sbop wenb up in flames? One oi the tirst groups to pitcb in and help would he the regi- nient serving at Fort Henry. On many occasions, British soldiers witb water buckets tougbt Kingston's tires. Next, imgn that you were a poor laorr, unable to afford medicai came for your tamily. Again the British arylent a band. Army surgeonis trom Fort Henry made bouse calîs, reserved office bours, and provided medical aid fmee of cbrge to tbe poor. Now, pmetend that you were a young lady, intent on marriage. Wbat better place to be thon Kingston,,witb all those eligîble bachelors in town? Wben Fort Hlenry was ini garrison, a girl's social lite was neyer duli In the wintem, there were sleigh rides, skating parties an-' tobogganing parties on . irt Henry Hill. faIntie -nummer; boating on Lake .;ntario, croquet on the lawn, a'mateur theatricals-put on by the For t Henry regiments, and %hse unforgettable band con- certs. Over the years, the megi- mental bands from Fort Henry pertormed on every imaginable occasion--on par- ade, on board steamers, on the B3amracks Square, on skating rîkon front lawns and in CiyHall. 0f course, the brýghlight of any season was the- fancy-dress garmison hall. But the British troops didn't devo;-fte all their time and atteý.ntion to the ladies. Tbey aiso belonged bo every men's society in towa, trom the YMCA to the Hibernian Bene- volent Society. Much of their time was spent piaying cricket, taking on teams of civilians as well as tbe top-notcb Kingston Cricket Club. 'tvas a sad day wben the last Brý itish regiment let Kingu-ýston in 1870. Weeping citize.ns lined the streets to wave tarewell, thînking their happy days were gone for- ever. Today, scamlet-coated troops are bock at Fort Henry not British soldiers, bu"t Canodian bigb scbool and uznversity students, costumed aadý( pertorming drills like tercounterparts a century And today, Old Fort Henry stands outside Kingston, not f0 pmnte,ý_ct it trom invaders, but e welcome tbem as visitors f0 EsenOntario's most spec- baculi1ar tourist attraction.
