A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the following pages I have endeavored to supply that information which will be of most value to the visitor to Valley I orge. Without some such guidance much of the interest which belongs to the place is lost, as I know from personal experience. My endeavor has been to connect the living person a Hty of the men of the Revolution with the objects which remain. Unfortunately no one has attempted this, and consequently much time and labor have been spent in gathering the information which would enable me to do it. Incomplete as the work is, I offer it to the American people in the hope that its pages may bring to them something of the enthusiasm which its preparation has brought me. I am indebted to Mr. Edson J. Weeks tor permission to use the picture of Washington s Headquarters and to Prof. Jesse E. Philips for the use of his copy of Peale sportrait of Washington. W. Herbert Burk. All Saints Rector, A pril 23, 1906.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
