  • 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 Culper Ring
    ACTIVITY 2 REPRODUCIBLE MASTER THE CULPER RING or generations, history books have taught us that Nathan Hale was America’s first spy during the Revolutionary War, which is why his statue stands outside CIA headquarters. But, as AMC’s TURN: FWashington’s Spies reveals, there was actually a wide network of spies providing General George Washington with secret intelligence throughout the war. Unlike the eloquent Hale, however, these spies were never caught, so their identities have remained largely unknown and rarely acknowledged in history books. The Culper Ring was a group of childhood friends who were dedicated to the Patriot DISCOVERY cause and able to collect and disseminate Here is some background on Washington’s espionage operation intelligence that ultimately helped the Patriots and the members of the Culper Ring featured in AMC’s TURN: win the war. The majority of intelligence Washington’s Spies. Research the following individuals and their approach to espionage. collected by the group was about the Abraham Woodhull – A young farmer from movements of British troops and their plans for Setauket, Long Island, who concealed his New York and the surrounding area.
