The Princeton Battlefield

"This is hallowed ground. Across these fields in the early light of the third of January 1777, Washington's Continentals defeated British regulars for the first time in the long struggle for American Independence."
"In the Memorial Grove beyond you, those who fell in the Battle of Princeton, both American and British, lie buried, the historic portico in which you stand was re-erected here to make the entrance to the tomb of these unknown soldiers of the Revolution."


"Near here lie buried the American and British officers and soldiers who fell in the battle of Princeton. January 3rd 1777. 'Here freedom stood by slaughtered friend and foe, And ere the wrath paled or that sunset died, Looked through the ages; then, with eyes aglow, Laid them to wait that future, side by side.' Alfred Noyes 1880-1956"
















This was an exciting and unexpected discovery. We were just driving down a road we haven't been down before. The best things in life are free, aren't they?
