The Penn's Grove record., 1916-06-30

In Washington's time. The log kitch.
en- at the ear was built while Wash
ington occupied the house. From it
descends an entrance into what was
a tunnel to the banks of the Schuyl-
kill river. Priceless Revolutionary
relics are gathered in the building.
The tent which Washington used on
the field is still preserved.
At this entrance to the park stands
the beautiful memorial arch of stone
built by the nation and completed last
year. 1t is known as the Washington
Memorial arch. and another, to be
called the Steuben Memorial arch, is
planned for the other principal en-
frances of the park. For beauty and
impressiveness no similar structure in
the United States, with the exception
of the Washington arch in Washing
ton Square, New York, whose design
Is similar, al compare with thai
which now stands at Valley Forge.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-06-30
FINE MEMORIAL BUILDINGS.

Other new edifces OF surprising
beauty and dignity are the group of
memorial buildings erected by popu.
lar subscriptions from citizens of ev.
cry state. They include the Washing.
ton Memorial chapel, the Thanksgiv.
ing tower and the Patriots hall. Serv-
ices are held in the chapel by it's rec
tor, the Rev. w. Herbert Burk, who
started the movement for the erection
of the buildings in 1903. The entire
group of buildings are of the beautiful
Collegiate Gothic type of architecture.
They house a collection of Revolu-
tionary relics and a library of Ameri-
cana which is unique. 1t is estimated
that 100000 will be needed to COM
plete the structures as planned. When
finished they will constitute a sort of
Westminster abbey, without compari-
son in the United States for histori-
cal associations, a Mecca for all pa
triotic Americans from every part Of
the nation.
1t is estimated that 100, 900 visitors
from all over the United States make
a pilgrimage to Valley Forge each
year. With the Inauguration of Phila-
d~elphia's Greater Fourth of July, sig
nalized by the visit of President Viii
son, members of congress and dele
gates from each of the thirteen orig
inal states of the Union, great inter-
est was evident in 1915, when the
richness Of Philadelphia's historic
memories were brought more closely
to the attention of the whole nation.
Americans from Maine to California
visit Valley Forge. Do the citizens of
Philadelphia realize what an excep-
tional opportunity they themselves
have of spending a memorable after
noon in a place so near It hand, so
crowded with memorials of the most
critical period in American history, so
beautiful in it's setting among the
cool, green hills of Chester Valley, so
attractive in every way to the person
who wishes to escape for a day the
city streets?

PATRIOT ARMY STARVED.

Washington and his little army of
some 10000 men-equal only to the
hundredth part Of the vast force which
Germany is nov putting on the field
in France-after the unsuccessful bat
tie with the British under Lord Howe
at Germantown, withdrew in discour-
agement to take up winter quarters at
Valley Forge, "a miles northwest of
Philadelphia. The British troops,
numbering $4,000, contented them
selves with remaining in the city
throughout the winter, making occa-
sional forays in force through the sur
rounding country and clearing it of
provisions as effectually as did Sher-
mar in his march through Georgia. AS
a consequence, the Continental troops
suffered unimaginable hardships for
lack of food in the six months from
the middle of December, 1777, until
June 10, 177S, when Lord Howe, relin-
gushing the command of the British
army to Lord CORVALLIS, evacuated
the city and withdrew to New York.
Through the efforts of the state of
Pennsylvania, Valley Forge is now
public property. More than 400 acres
are included in the park, comprising
Washington's headquarters, most of
the campground and the remains of
the Revolutionary forts and earth
works. Altogether the state has ap-
propriated more than $350,000 for the
preservation Of the campsite. Pleas
ant drives have been constructed
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-06-30

where impenetrable thickets once
grew. The entertainments and forts
that were concealed in a dense wood
a few years ago are accessible to
visitors. The fine drives of the park
attract horsemen and automobilists in
great numbers. By the principal road
the ascent of Mount Joy, an elevation
of 500 feet, is made by easy grades,
and from the brow Of the hill views
covering 20 miles are obtained.

Maryland Patriots First.

The patriots of Hartford county.
Maryland, gathered themselves to-
gether at Hartford town, which is now
called Bush, on March %, l775. On
the same day they prepared and
signed a Declaration of Independence,
probably the first one ever made by
the colonies, or any part of them

wAsHINeToN's IRREGULARITIES.

Washington's headquarters, a stone
farmhouse which belonged to Isaac
Potts, a Quaker, stands near the rail-
road station, and at the entrance to
the park, 1t was Isaac Potts who is
said to have seen Washington at pray
er in the icebound woods, at a time
when hope seemed almost gone.
The oom are today as they were
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-06-30


Here, in the lonely woods of Val
ley Forge, is the spot forever hallowed
where Washington knelt upon the
snow and prayed in the extremity of
despair that the cause of liberty should
yet be successful, says the Philadel-
phia Record.
Thousands of visitors do, indeed,
visit Valley Forge, but many thou
sands more would do so If they realized
the pleasure which attends such a trip,
altogether apart from the rich reward
to be gained by seeing with their own
eyes the ground where a handful Of
ragged and starving men, paupers in
everything save their store of indom-
table courage, fought cold and hun
ger-enemies more relentless than
hostile troops-through that terrible
winter of 1777. For now the beautiful
woodlands that line the Schuylkill,
the slopes that enclose the Chester
Valley, are ideal spots for a days
jaunt.
That anyone within Philadelphia
should not make a pilgrimage to Val
ley Forge, less than an hours ride
from the city, seems unthinkable.
Valley Forge is extremely accessi-
BILE. Two railroad lines, a traction car
line and automobile passenger omni-
buses running from the city to all
the points of interest in the vicinity.
make it an extremely easy matter for
any tourist to reach Valley Forge and
enjoy the day there. A dozen splendid
inn in the neighborhood, located
among the pleasant hills of the beau
tiful Chester Valley, are famous
among au~tomobilists for their cordial
welcome, their appetizing dinners and
their attractive rooms. Some of them
have the added charm of recalling, by
their Colonial architecture and their
auai~s furnishings the historic days
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-06-30

when they were first erected. In no
locality, outside of Europe, can be
found so many delightful wayside tav-
ems as are open to the rambler
through this lovely valley.
