CEfORU!
Scene of Famous Indian Battle.
(Courier-Journal.)
Baltimore, October, 1901.

On Oct. 10, in the presence of over TO-
OOU people many of whom had come half
way across the continent to be present the
beautiful grove at the junction of the
kanawha and Ohio Rivers was dedicated
to the memory of the gallant Virginans
who, 127 years ago that day, gave to the
world the first manifestation of that yalor
which in after years broke the power Of
Great Britain and made this continent the
abiding place OF civil liberty.
No spot in the Ohio Valley is so full of
historical significance as this old town of
Point Pleasant, w. Va, and no spot will
be more beautiful when the towering
granite shaft, to be erected at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000 shall greet the eye
oil the stranger as he approaches this true
cradle of liberty. 1rH
The orators of the day were worthy Of
the great occasion, the principal addresses
being delivered by Col. Bennett H. Young,
of Louisville; Gen. Charles Ii. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and the Hon. William r. Thomp-
son, of Huntington, w. Va.
In addition to the monument the old
log structure, built shortly after the bat
tie, and yet intact, will be converted into
a museum of Continental and Indian
relics, and already hundreds of articles
baye been secured for this purpose.
The battle which the towering shaft
VIII commemorate was one of the blood
lest of Indian warfare, but the victory
was priceless. Two thousand Virginia
gentlemen" commanded by Gen. Andrew
Lewis, had been sent by Virginias Eng
lish Governor to what they termed their
destruction. This for the purpose OF
quelling by an awful example the rising
spirit Of Continental discomfort, but the
virginians triumped and inaugurated the
Revolution.
Among those present at the dedication
were hundreds of great-great- grandchil-
dren of those who fought in the struggle.
