WASHINGTON SQUARE With Wctshington's H eadquarters 1779-1780 in the bcwkground and the Washington Statue in the fOT'e gyound. THE MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK By Philip Livingston Butler OMPLEMENTARY to the heroism of men whose~alor­ ous deeds have made sections of our country histori­ a cally famous, are the patriotism and enthusiasm of citizens who by their generosity in giving time and rnoney have succeeded in preserving historical places for the everlasting edification of posterity. Many are the cases where shrines to American history have been lost because they have not been rescued from the onrushing tide of mod­ ern progress. Thus, the dedication of the Morristown N a­ tional Historical Park is of especial significance in that it in­ wres that one more historic spot will be forever preserved as a memorial to the patriotism of the men who sacrificed their lives; forever protected lest man, carried away by the march of progress, forget that upon these spots brave men made the supreme sacrifice that this nation might live to take her place in the family of nations. Offhand, one might think that the task of securing the historic land and turning it over to the Federal Government iE an easy one. Nothing could be furLher from the truth as witnessed by the fact that the Morristown National Histor­ ical Park of today is the fruit of over four years of persis­ tent work. ,Ve are all familiar with the part played by Mor­ ristown in the Revolutionary 'Var. Most of us are but vague­ ly- if at all-familiar with how this national park came into being. By what means and through whose efforts has the Morristown National Historical Park been created to take its deserved place along with Valley Forge in Pennsylvania and Mount Vernon in Virginia? For many years, Hon. Clyde Potts of Morristown was of the belief that there should be a national park in Morristown to perpetuate the strategic part played by the community in the vVar for Independence. To this end he and several prominent citizens called on Mr. Lloyd W. Smith of Florham Park for the purpose of enlisting his support in the under­ taking. This proved to be a most wise move. As the result of Mr. Smith's patriotism and generosity the major portion of Jockey Hollow was later purchased by him from private citizens and included in the proposed national park. It is fitting to digress a moment and look at the contem­ porary history of the various units of the park. In the early nineties, Mr. Luther Kountze, of Kountze Brothers, became the owner of about three thousand acres, including the Con­ tinental Army Encampment Grounds, and lived in the Del­ harton I-louse on the MorristO\,,rn-Mendham Road. After the death of Mr. Kountze, his heirs being indifferent to holding this large estate, the property, exclusive (Jf the Delbarton House and several hundred acres, was :;old to James Cox L eddell's Mill and Mill Dam in Jockey Hollow. Used to grind m eal fO?" the Continenta1 A1"my 1779-1780. It was used for 125 years afte1' the army left Jockey Hollow Brady, son of Anthony Brady the famous public utilities magnate. Shortly thereafter, five men- Bertram Cutler, \Vilfred Wood, George Easely, "V. Redmond Cross, and "V. P. Jenks- realizing the po ten tial real es ta te possibilities of the property, purchased from Mr. Brady one thousand acres including the Mill Pond, the Tempe 'Wicke House, and other historic spots. Thus we see that at the time Mr. Potts and his delegation were meeting with Mr. Smith, that portion of Jockey Hollow seemed destined to become a real estate de­ velopment and to be swallowed up by the march of progress. Contingent to this property, the Town of Morristown held approximately three hundred acres in the Jockey Hollow Area. Shortly after the first meeting at the home of Mr. Smith, a second meeting was held in the Morristown Municipal Building, at which a committee composed 9f Mr. Lloyd V\!. Smith, Chairman, Colonel Franklin D'Olier, Hon. Charles \V. Parker, Miss E. Mabel Clark, Mr. W. P. Jenks, Miss Mil­ dred Ennis and Mr. \Villis H. Dutton, was chosen to seek n ilil (larUtwork Wft$ (,f~"I.d ;).1'Idftl"in.~l"oo by tbtCrmfint·nta! &Mi(:'J':' as ('1M af'tlw d1'f~J1M$ of M«rristowA du.ri:ng 1tlt:R.ivoli.JUonary War.

One year later, this commit­ fpc made its first report stating that one of its members­ Mr. Smith-had purchased about eight hundred acres from the "Jockey Hollow Group" and several hundred [!cres from Mr. Brady, a very substantial part of which would be included in the proposed park. The acquisition of this pro­ perty was made possible through the public-mindedness of Messers Cutler, Wood, Easely, Cross, Jenks, and Brady, who relinquished an inevitably large personal profit to assist this worthy cause. Recently, Mr. Charles W. McAlpin who owns one hundred and twenty-five acres of land, adjoin­ ing that of Mr. Smith, on which the two Connecticut Bri­ gades were encamped, has generously tendered them to the Federal Government as his contribution to the national park. In November 1930, the people of Morristown held a ref­ erendum, under an enabling act of the New Jersey Legisla­ ture, at which it was voted almost ten to one to donate the historic property owned by the Town to the Federal Govern­ ment. Along with the Jockey Hollow property, Fort Non­ sense Park, which was dedicated to the Town on July 4, 1931, comprises an important unit in the national park. This section, which contains the restored earthworks built by the Continental Army, came to be the property of the Town through the generosity of the late Mr. Francis Woodruff who provided a fund of $50,000 for the purchase of the pro­ perty. The third unit of the park- Washington's Headquarters - was at this time controlled by the Washington Association of New Jersey, a patriotic group formp.d about 1874 and composed of many leading citizens who were particularly interested in the preservation of momentos associated with General Washington. Washington's Headquarters- the old mansion of the late Colonel Jacob Ford-contains many valuable relics including some of the finest Washington manuscripts; the original commission signed by John Han­ cock which authorized vVashington as the commander in chief of the American army; as well as many other price­ less articles.

HEUSSER,* PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Foreword—We have honored Lafayette, Pulaski and Von Steu- ben, but we have forgotten Erskine. No monument, other than a tree planted by Washington beside his gravestone at Ringwood, N. J., has ever been erected to the memory of the noble young Scotchman who did so much to bring the War of the Revolution to a successful issue. Robert Erskine, F. R. S., the Surveyor-General of the Conti- nental Army and the trusted friend of the Commander-in-chief, was the silent man behind the scenes, who mapped out the by-ways and the back-roads over the mountains, and—by his familiarity with the great "middle-ground" between the Hudson Highlands and the Delaware—provided Washington with that thorough knowledge of the topography of the country which enabled him repeatedly to out- maneuver the enemy. It is a rare privilege to add a page to the recorded history of the American struggle for independence, and an added pleasure thereby to do justice to the name of one who, born a subject of George III, threw in his lot with the champions of American lib- erty. Although never participating in a battle, he was the means of winning many. He lost his life and his fortune for America; naught was his reward save a conscience void of offense, and the in- *Mr.

    RICHMOND HILL PLANTATION, Ford Mansion HABS No. GA-2348-F East of Richmond Hill on Ford Neck Road Richmond Hill Vicinity Bryan County Georgia PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA Historical American Buildings Survey National Park Service Southeast Region Department of the Interior Atlanta, Georgia 30303 \ __ HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY RICHMOND HILL PLANTATION, Ford Mansion HABS No. GA-2348-F Location: East of Richmond Hill on Ford Neck Road, Richmond Hill vicinity, Bryan County, Georgia. Significance: The Ford Mansion was completed in 1937 as Henry and Clara Ford's "Southern style" winter residence. Mrs. Ford wanted a home featuring wide porches, columns, and spacious rooms like the Greek Revival style homes they had visited in such Georgia towns as Athens, Washington, and Savannah. They appreciated the beauty and privacy the surrounding Ways Station area had to offer. Description: The Ford Mansion is a two-story wood frame building with a "Savannah Gray" brick exterior. Savannah Gray brick was (and remains) a much sought after building material. The Fords purchased the Hermitage, an antebellum Greek Revival House on the Savannah River. They had the home torn down and hauled the salvaged brick about 20 miles for use in their residence. The first floor has about 3600 square feet and included a living room, dining room, library, kitchen, hallway, storage closets, and ladies and mens restrooms. The central hallway is about 1O' wide and extends from the front door to the back door. The living room is on the left of the hallway and extended from front to back of the house.
