Fort Lee Battle Monument.

20 feet. Elaborate plans were made
which marked the formal recognition
by the state OF New Jersey of this his
torical landmark.
On behalf of the state. the principal
address was made by Gov. Fort. Other
prominent persons, representing the
national government, the state of New
York and all the principal revolution
ary societies, took part in the cere-
monies.
The monument is in park, and
stands on a point where the original
outer works of the old fort were stu
ated. The monument will also mark
what is said to be the original camp
occupied by Gen. Lee as his Eeadquar-
tiers and the site where Morgan's Vir-
ginia riflemen were encamped. The
fort played an important part in the
movements of the revolutionary army
but no battle of Importance was
fought there.
Many persons believe that the old
fort and camp at Fort Lee were on
the Palisades blum, overlooking the
Hudson river, but this is not the fact
The monument cannot be seen from
the Hudson river. 1t was to guard a
ravine leading up the Palisades that
the fort was erected, and it was situ-
ated inland for strategical reasons.
Fort Lee is full of traditional revo-
lutionary history. The ruins of the
stone huts which were used by Nor
gan's men in their stay at Fort Lee
are still to be seen, and the Fort Lee
association will take steps to preserve
them. In these huts the hardy and
determined patriots, with constitutions
slept in the cold nights Of October and
November, 1776. Another reminder of
the period is the old stone bake oven
found on the premises of the Belvi.
dere hotel, and which for years has
been properly labeled and protected
It was in this stone oven that bread
for the revolutionary soldiers was
baked.
Fort Lee has one tradition handed
down from the revolution that has al
ways afforded food for discussion. II
is relative to Dead Brook and how the
little stream received such name
One story is that Hessian soldier
was shot by scout while crossing the
brook. Another authority says that
the scout, after climbing the Palisades
stopped to take drink at the brook
and not relishing it went further uI
to ascertain the cause of the unusual
1 A.
Hessian bathing his feet in the stream
and shot him. Another story is that
bloody battle was fought along the
brook, and because Of the presence o.
so many dead soldiers alongside the
tiny stream the name Of Dead Brool
| was applied.
