John. Arnold. Tho baron detested the
traitor Benedict Arnold bo much that
even the mention OF the name drove him
into q rage. Several times he accosted
Private Arnold. and even went SO far
as to accuse him Of being . relative OF
the traitor to, the Revolutionary cause.

is said to have asked on many occasions.

parents" was the answer. How can !

build this fort at Mingo, a few miles be-
ow Steubenville's present site. That To-
,ation had been selected by Mai. A. ".

l tour of inspection. Baron Won Steuben
ooked over a site further up the river,
md he was SO favorably impressed with
Z, because of the natural advantages,
hat the fort was placed at that point.
Fort Steuben was made what was con-
sidered in those days. impregnable. 1t
was duly named after the Revolutionary
hero in 1ls6. The reproduction herewith
presented is said to be a perfect one.
