  • Morristown National Historic Park
    Around and About New Jersey TEACHER'S GUIDE PROGRAM SEVEN MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORIC PARK by David Steven Cohen NJN Public Television and the New Jersey Historical Commission, Department of State Trenton, N.J. Revised, 2006 I. SYNOPSIS The Revolutionary War was an important time in our nation's history. The United States was born more than two hundred years ago, when the people of the British colonies in North America fought to gain their independence from England. Even today, people dress up like Revolutionary War soldiers and come to places like Morristown in order to imagine the life of the ordinary soldier in the Continental Army. At the site of Fort Nonsense, overlooking Morristown, Midge Guerrera, the series host, asks the question: why did George Washington bring his army to Morristown? She points to the Great Swamp and the Watchung Mountains, and explains that these geographic features protected Washington and his army from the British, who had their headquarters in New York City. Here the army was also close to iron mines and foundries that could supply it with cannons and cannonballs. Midge explains that Washington and his army came to Morristown twice during the Revolutionary War: first in January 1777, after he crossed the Delaware River and defeated the British at the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and second in December 1779. During the second encampment, Washington and his staff stayed in Morristown at a large house owned by Mrs. Theodosia Ford, a widow. General Washington, his wife Martha, and his staff lived in the main part of the house, which they made into their headquarters.

    THE HIGHLANDS WAR: CIVILIANS, SOLDIERS, AND ENVIRONMENT IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, 1777-1781 ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate School Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Steven Elliott December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Gregory J.W. Urwin, History Andrew C. Isenberg, History Jessica Chopin Roney, History Mark Edward Lender, History i © Copyright 2018 Bv Steven Elliott All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertations studies the problem of military shelter and its impact on the Continental Army‘s conduct during the War of American Independence.

This dissertation maintains a geographic focus on Northwestern New Jersey, a region it defines as the Highlands, because this area witnessed a Continental Army presence of greater size and duration than anywhere else in the rebelling Thirteen Colonies. Using official military correspondence, orderly books, diaries, memoirs, civilian damage claims, and archaeological studies, this dissertation reveals that developments in military shelter formed a crucial yet overlooked component of Continental strategy. Patriot soldiers began the war with inadequate housing for operations in the field as well as winter quarters, and their health and morale suffered accordingly. In the second half of the war, Continental officers devised a new method of accommodating their men, the log-hut city.
