Monmouth county in New Jersey
celebrated in 1923 the 15Oth anniver-
sary OF the Battle Of Monmouth. This
severe and critical engagement Of the
Revolution was re-enacted in q pag-
cant which showed how the fight was
waged from Monmouth Courthouse to
Old Tennent, and also the heroic
part played that day by Molly Pitcher.
writes May w. Mount in the New
York Times.
The victory of Monmouth strength.
ened the morale of the army, worn
by their winter at Valley Forge, and
encouraged the Colonies In their
struggle. 1t made their commander in
chief more heroic than ever as they
pictured him, constantly exposed to
fire, rallying his troops.
In dead, wounded and missing the
British lost 362 and the Americans
800. Included among these were four
British and eight American officers:
fifty-nine British and many Americans
died Of fatigue and sunstroke. The
banks of Molly Pitchers brook were
strcwn with dead and wounded SOL
diers who had dragged themselves to
the water.
The British dead and not few Of
the Americans were buried on the
field.
At some period after the War Of
the Revolution the village of Mon
mouth Courthouse changed its name
to Freehold But the old Scotch set
Element, whose first church was tho
Scots meeting house at Topanemus
(now in the borders Of Freehold),
centered about the courthouse, and all
roads led to Its tree-shaded square.

Henry Knox, Boston book seller,
was the father of American artillery.
He was colonel of the First artillery
regiment. He procured it's guns.
They were mounted on Dorchester
heights and drove the British out OF
Boston by the threat of their posi-.
ton. He was in command Of the ar.
tillery throughout the Revolution to
the artillery climax OF reducing the
works of CORVALLIS at Yorktown to
ruins and the general to surrender.
He was born in Boston in 1850.
When. he came to adult years he
opened book store. With the sell.
ing Of books he combined an interest
in soldering, and held commission
in military company.
The celebrated tea party and its
sequel made temporary departure
from Boston a matter of wise tao.
tics, and he left with his wife, taking
his sword along concealed in the volu'
minous folds of her dress. Presently
he turned up as master Of fortified.
tions and artillery. His skill in pre-.
pairing defenses and the placement OF
guns attracted the attention of George
Washington, who gave him command
Of the artillery in the Revolutionary
army.
After the capture of Yorktown he
was made a major general, and served
as the first secretary of war and navy
from 1876 to 1895. He died in 1906.
Knox college, at Galesburg, is
named after this American hero,
fact not so widely known as 1t should
be. Frequently Knox graduates hear
the name of John Knox, the Scottish
religious reformer and saint Of Pres
byterianism, referred to as that OF
their patron. Henry Knox, 1t Is said.
was his lineal descendant

Facsimile Letter of George Washing
ton Brought to New York From
British War Archives.
One of the most important collec-
lions of Washingtoniana, including
the headquarters documents of the
British army in America during the
War of independence, bound in 81
Volumes has been acquired by DR.. A.
S. w. Rosenbach, well-known Phila-
delphia book collector.
The manuscripts number about
10000 and were collected by Sir Guy
Carleton, afterward Lord Dorchester,
who was commander in chief OF the
British army in America from 1852
to 1888.
The collection includes SO letters
of George Washington addressed to
Sir Henry Clinton and Sir William
Howe, most Of which have not been
published. There is also the CORE
spondence of Sir William Howe, Lord
Darlington, Lord North. Lord George
Germaine, Earl Shelburne, General
Burgoyne, Maj. John Andre, William
Franklin (son Of Benjamin Frank
lin), Lord CORVALLIS, Lord Amherst
and Sir James Wright.
''The collection of American manu-
scripts" Doctor Rosenbach stated, lis
by far the finest ever brought to this
country. On account Of it's great his
torical value as a whole, it will al
ways be kept together.
"The letters Of the American loyal
lists, or those who took sides with
Great Britain, comprise the finest col
lection known. The papers relating
to the capture and evacuation Of New
York constitute the largest extant
mass Of material on the subject"
