a wooded tract some rs rods from a
township road and so rods from Brad
docks Road on Laurel Hill, that it has
not received the consideration its i'm
portance deserves.
Professor Lacock has been most
a0xious, as part of the United
States George Washington Celebra-
ton, to commemorate the two hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of
George Washington, that something
should be done worthy of this impor-
tant event and spot in our nations
history. In his enthusiastic endeav-
ors to work out plan to suitably
commemorate this memorable event
he has received the endorsement of
General Richard Coulter, Attorney
John N. Bouchard, of Greensburg;
Clay Lynch, general superintendent
of the H. C. Prick Coke Company;
McClelland Leonard, of Uniontown,
who is the active spirit in developing
the General Braddock Park Memorial
Association; John L. Cans, editor of
The Courier; DIR. Charles F. Hewitt,
of Boston, and many others.
The Fayette-Westmoreland branch
of the Pennsylvania Historical Soci-
ETY. has assured Professor Lacock that
they would be only too pleased to fur
nish a suitable bronze tablet for any
suitable monument that might be
erected. The Pennsylvania Historical
Society has likewise promised to help
in the marking of the Washington
Braddock Road. Professor Lacock
stated that Professor Hart and him
self long ago planned to visit this
spot together in the not distant fu-
ture.
Last week Professor Lacock visited
it and made the acquaintance of the
owner of the site in the person of

shown in the work and labors of these
trained experts.
For almost 25 years Professor La
cock has given more or less attention
to the history of Braddock's Road and
the Forbes Road, the battle of Great
Meadows and the skirmish at Wash
ington's Rocks, where Washington and
the Half King took position in their
attack on Jumonville in what proved
to be the initial battle of the French
and Indian War. Francis Parkman,
the historian, tersely puts it, "This OBJ
scure skirmish began the war that set
the world on fire." Some years ago
tablet or marker was erected at this
spot which bears the following in
scription:
Here lie the mortal remains of N.
Coulon De Jumonville, who in COM
mand of company of 33 regulars,
were surprised and killed in an en-
gagement with Major George Wash
ington in command of a company of
40 provincial troops and Tennachar-
ison, the Half King, in command of a
company of friendly Indians, on May
%, 1854. This action was the first
conflict at arms between the French
and English for supremacy in the
Mississippi Valley"
In this engagement out of the SO
French troops, 10 men were killed, in
Guiding Jumonville; one wounded, La
Force, Droullion and II others were
made prisoners. Washington had one
killed and two or three wounded.
There is scarcely a spot in Amer
lea that historically is of greater sig.
nifcance than the event and outcome
of this skirmish at Washington Rocks
1t is an ideal spot for an historic
shrine. 1t is perhaps due to the fact
that this battle ground is located in
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-04-07

ficulties he met with in his two previ-
GUS expeditions over this historic high
way.
Arrangements are being made to
mark all the 20 encampments of Brad
docks Army over this route in 1755,
as we'll as the trail over which Wash
ington and Gist travelled in the then
"howling wilderness" in 1853 to the
French forts.
A word about Samuel Rosenik, from
whom Professor Lacock purchased the
site of Washington's Rocks and the
site of Jumonville's Grave. He was
born in Saxony, Germany. He emf
grated to America in 1890, and upon
his arrival in America started to work
for the H. C. Prick Coke Company, by
whom he was employed for 20 years.
In 1912 he purchased the farm con-
sisting of 141 acres, containing Wash
ington's Rock and Jumonville's Grave.
He told Professor Lacock that he had
made up his mind that if no one made
any effort to take any interest in the
historic spot located on his farm, he
himself intended at his own expense
to erect a fiag-pole and cause a flag
to fly over this shrine as his part to
do honor to the Father of His Coun-
try"
This statement stirred the blood of
the Bostonian to the boiling point,
who has just recently brought out
most attractive historic book profuse-
ly illustrated, entitled, "The Spirit of
TO-" which is an authentic history of
the famous painting bearing this title.
"Why not some patriotic organiza-
ton present flag and pole?" asks
Professor Lacock. "Here is a great
opportunity to do most important
and worthy job we'll"

Harvard Historian Secures Title

TO MARK 20 ENCAMPMENTs

Connellsville, Pa, April 6-The re-
construction and dedication of Fort
Necessity as national shrine on July
8 and a, memorializing George Wash
ington, has drawn the attention of his
torians anew to the historic spots in
Fayette county which had association
with his early career as soldier.
None have been more interested, more
are more fully qualified by original
research and investigation of these
events, than Professor John Kennedy
Lacock, conceded to be the greatest
authority on Braddock's Road.
He has been in this community for
almost week continuing his studies
and has reached the conclusion that
the scene of Washington's skirmish
with the French under Jumonville is
as deserving to be marked as the site
of Fort Necessity. 1t was in this day
break encounter between Washing
toms force of 40 and Jumonville's SO,
in the wildness Of the rocky mountain
country near Dunbar's Camp, that the
first shot of the French and Indian
War was actually fired. Historically
it has a significance that makes it
truly one of the most sacred shrines
of the nation as we'll as possessing
great natural beauty.
In giving expression to his interest
and as a means of starting move
ment to preserve this spot for future
generations. Professor Lacock today
secured title to 3.6 acres of ground in
Guiding Washington Rocks and Ju-
monville's Grave. Already he has Sc
cured the endorsement of his plans
and has assurance of backing that will
result in creating the ground into a
park and forever set it aside as his
toric ground. The Phalanx Frater-
nifty of Connellsville will do the pre-
liminary work of clearing the ground
and provide means of access to it.
Professor Lacock, A. B., A. NJ, a
graduate of Washington and Jeffer-
son College and also of Harvard Uni
versity, is native of Washington
county, Pennsylvania, but has made
his home for a number of years in
Boston, Massachusetts.He is president
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-04-07

of the Boston School of Expression
and Dramatic Art, and likewise pres
ident of the National Associated Stu
dos of Music. He has contributed
much to the history of Western Penn
sylvania.
During the summers of 1908 and
1909, he conducted on foot expeditions
over the old Observation-Disclosures
Road with view to relocating and
preserving to posterity this historic
highway. During the summer months
of 1910, 1911 and 1912 he conducted
similar expeditions over the Forbes
Road (1758) with similar purpose
in view. He is unquestionably the
worlds greatest authority on Brad
docks Road. This summer he is con-
Quoting a party of 100 over the Wash
ngton-Braddock Road, and plans to
finish the trip in order to be present
at the exercises to be held at Fort
Necessity July and 4. There is
perhaps no other person who knows
so much about these historic high
ways. He is a storehouse of knowl-
edge, a most accurate scholar, a cour-
teous and interesting gentleman.
Twenty-Five years ago, in company
with Professor Albert Bushnell Hart,
professor emeritus of government in
Harvard University, and historian of
the George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, he drove over the old Ma
tional Road from Cumberland, Md,
to Wheeling, W. Va. These gentlemen,
although they have made their homes
in the east for many years are much
interested in the events connected
with the early history of Pennsylva-
mia. Professor Hart and Professor
Lacock have made preliminary sur
vey of the old Indian Trail from Fort
LIE Boeuf, now Waterford, Pa, over
which Washington and Christopher
Gist journeyed in 1853 when they
made demand upon the French COM
mander at Fort LeBoeuf Waterford,
Pa.) to withdraw from the territory,
which Virginia claimed.
The object of this research is to re-
locate and cause to be suitably marked
the route on this side of the Alleghe-
MES. DR.. Hart, on account of serious
illness in his family, was unable to
join Professor Lacock last week. With
the aid of a warrantee survey map
which is being made at Harrisburg,
Washington's, Gist's and other journ-
ais, travellers accounts, maps, a study
of the road on the ground, it is be-
lieved that every one of the encamp-
ments of Washington can be definitely
and accurately established. Profess
sor Lacock said that he hoped that it
might be possible for Professor Hart
and himself to continue their investi-
cations on the ground within the next
three weeks. Great interest has been
