From Great Meadows to Valley Forge: George Washington in Pennsylvania
George Washington has been called America’s "indispensable man," yet few people appreciate how important Pennsylvania was in shaping his character. In this slide presentation, David Dixon traces Washington’s life from the early days of the French and Indian War through the terrible winter at Valley Forge. As Dixon reveals, these years in Pennsylvania were crucial in forging Washington’s identity as America’s foremost military and civil leader.

Hello Everyone,
You or anyone may join our 2003 Cook Forest Encampment website at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cookfi/ . I have posted 2002 encampment pics in the PHOTO section, and also be sure to check out the LINKS or BOOKSMARKS section to find out further info on Cook Forest. Contact Greg Henning at gehenning@yahoo.com for registration info. This event is by invitation, only. We only have limited space for reenactors so we will have to have a ceiling number, of say, maybe 300 people--and that might be pushing it. So basically the first groups that get their registration forms
in will be the first ones reserved for attendance.
Take care,
Jim |
