grim to Valley Forge in search of
sights and relics of the historic camp,
perhaps the most hallowed OF our
revolutionary reminders, was obliged
to tramp over fields OF none too
friendly farmers and be constantly an
noyed by signs warning off trespass-
ers. Apart from which. the fatigue
of such trip was great. as there
were no roads leading over the camp
ground and no signs marking the way
to the historic spots, only fields of
waving grain or woodlands over
grown with underbrush. Consequent
ly the hardest kind of walking over
the steep hills was required to view
but few of the sights.
Through the untiring efforts Of
number OF patriotic men. all this has
been changed and the state OF Penn
sylvania has been induced to assume
and complete a task which was first
offered and refused by the federal
government, although the undertak-
ing was clearly within its province. as
the camp ground of Valley Forge is
relic which should belong not only
to Pennsylvania, but to the entire
nation, as every patriotic American
must wish for its preservation and
would feel proud in being part owner.
But whether by Pennsylvania or the
national government, it must be at
least gratifying to the nation to learn
that the neglect of a century has been
atoned for. and under the able and
enthusiastic direction OF the Valley
Forge Park commission. work OF al
most incalculable historical value has
been done on the bleak heights above
the Schuylkill, to which Washington's
barefoot army crawled when the de-
feat of Germantown left them no
other refuge.
