<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 206557, member: 468&quot;]Maybe it was that they had even more protection once across the Hudson and on their way to Canada.</p><p>~</p><p>Next time I&#039;m there I hope to get a tour of what can be seen of the URR at Harsimus. It&#039;s a cemetery that has history to the beginning of the country. As far as I know it was the first cemetery of its type and the model for many after. There are burials of losses from the Revolutionary war and others. When they clean up and also dig, they find all types and ages of artifacts.</p><p>~</p><p>Alexander Hamilton&#039;s son is buried here. Even deer visit, right here, in a place you couldn&#039;t think they could ever get to!</p><p>~</p><p>It is/was <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> famous for a meeting there of George Washington and Lafayette under the &#039;King of the Woods&#039;. This is the beginning, or end, of the march of the &#039;Palisades&#039; along the Hudson to the north and therefore a great view of British operations in NY. Across the road, where my high school is to the right in the last photo, is where the ammunition bunker was and a mount for a cannon to help fend off any attack from below.</p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]59779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59783[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
