Plan to Mark
Historic Sites
at Yorktown
"a N "a Am "a ma pa Rh

After the lapse of nearly century
and a half 1t seems highly probable
that something will be done to pre-
serve and mark the historic sites in
Yorktown, Va, the scene of Lord
Corvallis surrender and of stirring
incidents in each succeeding war of
the nation. Yorktown was partly de-
stroyed by the British in 1912, again
by the Union troops in 1861, and dur
ing the World war Yorktown was an
important naval base and mine depot.
The Society for the Preservation of
Virginia Antiquities has preserved
many interesting relics and maps, and
a movement Is now on foot, fostered
by the, Colonial Danes, to have con-
gress appropriate sufficient amount
to restore the ancient Notifications,
lay out roads. and erect monuments
and markers at the historic sites.
Yorktown, established in 1851 by de-
cree Of the king of England, was pur-
chased from Laurence Smith. The
site covered so acres, and was paid
for with 10000 pounds Of tobacco, the
currency of the colonists. 1t occupies
a bluff above the York river, and prior
to the Civil war was town Of con-
