ability to cope with these elements,
| and the young surveyor left his home
on the banks of the Potomac early in
| 174s. just after the completion of his
! sixteenth year, his only companion be-
ing George William Fairfax, nephew
of old Lord Thomas. Whether these
| boys erected the building or found it
already in place, history does not
| state.
In after years when, confronted by
the British or that greater enemy, in
| ternal discussion, he held the fate of
young nation in the hollow Of his hand,
no doubt his thoughts often went back
| to the little hut in the valley of Vir-
ginia, and he wished himself there
again under the shadow of the great
blue mountains, where he could
breathe the fresh, perfume-laden air,
drink the cool, clear water that gushed
from the rock near the door. and be
free from discomfort and strife. The
old hut has, in the memory of the pres
ent generation, done duty as milk
house" for farmers. Of the dense copSe
of trees, which Howe says shaded the
spring, only tall and sturdy elm re-
mains On hill not far away is "Sol-
diers Rest" another log cabin-itself
of historic interest also, for in it lived
Daniel Morgan, the rough teamster
who afterward became Washingtons
right hand in the war for independence
Morgan, the hero of Quebec and Sara
toga, and the man who destroyed
Tarleton at the cowpens and checked
the tide of British victories. Morgan
was a conspicuous figure in all the
rough-andtumble fights that gave the
little town of Berryville the name Of
Battletown, by which it was known
for 100 years, and after these encoun-
tiers he would go and sit on the rocks
down by the old Washington cabin
while his wife would battle his bruised
and cut head in the cooling waters Of
the spring, and bind up big bloody
wounds.
1t seems almost pity that this old
ca bin should be allowed to crumble
away in the Virginia pasture-fieId
where it has stood for 145 years. The
great elm tree looks as if it was good
for thousand years yet, while the
rock and the spring will be there for
evermore. but sun and wind and rain
have made sad ravages in the hut that
sheltered the youthful Washington.
The present owner of the cabin is G.
Il. Gaines, of Berrvville.

AN HISTORIC CABIN.
Once It Yves the Home Of I'm.
mortal Washington.
Located Half Mile from BerryvIlle, Va,
in the Beautiful Shenandoah Valley
1t Is Now Fast Going
to Decay.

In these days, when relics of the
great and good George Washington are
brought out of dark closets and old
libraries where they have been hidden
for a century and more, and every
! thing that was ever in contact with the
immortal Father of his Country" has
a sacred value, it is strange that the
| relic hunters have overlooked the
| crumbling old log cabin, the picture of
which is seen below. There are great
| many 'Washington's headquarters
scattered throughout this part of the
country. There is one at Newburg,
one at Morristown, etc. while as for
the houses in which Washington had
slept, they are as numerous as swallows
in summer. All these are preserved
| with scrupulous care, and venerated as
| sacred for evermore by their owners.
Not SO with the old log cabin Of this
sketch. Sunshine and storm have been
at work upon it for generations, and
now it has almost succumbed and
passed away. Yet there are few build
ings that attract the admirers of Wash
ington that have more OF interest in
them than this decaying cabin. which
stands alone in an old pasture field half
mile from Berryville, in the beautiful
Shenandoah valley of Virginia. Irving
describes it as a lodge in the wilder
ness" and Howe, in his History Of
Virginia" devotes a sentimental half
page to it.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
ington when he was surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal
roof TO begin the arduous and, at that
time, dangerous work of surveying the
lands of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who
owned all the northern part of Vir-
ginia under the kings patent; the
work was arduous because of the phys
zeal aspect of the country, then dense
wilderness, and dangerous because of
the character of the inha bitants, who
were principally Indians, or scarcely
