Page 68 contains a clipping from a newspaper article entitled: "Continental Breastworks". Underneath the small clipping (and obviously a part of the article) is a photograph with a caption that reads: "Traces of Continental Fortifications at Whitemarsh". The article relates that several traces of the Continental Army encampment can be located in the wooded slopes near to the Camp Hill station of the North Pennsylvania Railroad. The encampment lasted from November to December, 1777. The photograph shows a man in the background (wearing a hat) peering into the brush at what would be traces of the continental fortifications.Collection
