did so on October 10, 1881.
Since the major battle never
materialized, many of the for
tifications built by the oppos-
ing sides remained standing
after the war. In fact, they
proved SO durable that some
of them were used during the
Civil War when a minor battle
took place in the Yorktown
area.
Today Yorktown is q ma
tional historical park, pre-
served by the Government
much as it was az the close
of the Colonial era. For his
torians and amateur strate-
gists, it offers a complete lay

trenches, m a gaines G and

Besides the battlefield. how

17O0s, and each year thou
sands of tourists visit the his
toric sites where free men
were able to draw their first

Americans were to win. BY the
early fall of 1881, Gen. Wash
ington's forces and French
troops under Lafayette's COM
mand had bottled up Corn
wallis forces at Yorktown, a
small Virginia port close by
Chesapeake Bay. CORVALLIS
had retreated there with the
idea of getting supplies and
reinforcements by sea from
the British fleet under Ad-
miral Hood. Instead, Hoods
force was defeated by the
French fleet under Admiral
DECREASE, and the British had
to put back into New York for
'refitting. Cut off at sea and
surrounded by 10000 men of
the American army, the 1000
redcoats dug In and built for
tifications to withstand a
siege.
Though there were many
skirmishes, the major battle
was never joined. After con-
sidering the plight of his
troops and his poor strategic
position, the outnumbered and
outmaneuvered British gen.
eral decided to surrender, and

YORKTOWN. VA.
THROUGH AMERICAN inde-
Il pendence was officially
proclaimed on July 4, 1776, not
until five weary years later did
it become a reality. Fittingly,
the moment came on the bat
tlefield. The occasion was the
surrender of CORVALLIS troops
at Yorktown, bringing to an
end the last serious menace to
American sovereignty. Ap-
propriately, too, the moment
was marked by a fuli-dress
pageant with banners flying,
cavalry and infantry units on
parade, and both British and
American bands providing a
martial tempo for the Surren-
der ceremony. The popular
artists version Of the surren-
der shows CORVALLIS tender
ing his sword to Washington
and Lafayette, but the fact is
that CORVALLIS pleaded ILL
ness and didn't show up for
the ceremony. One of his
ranking aides presented the
sword, which was accepted. in
turn, by an American colonel.
Judging from eyewitness ac-
counts of conditions preceding
the surrender, the British were
as glad to stop fighting as the
