PREFACE.
A decade and more has elapsed since the author of this volume delivered, before a large Sunday morning congregation, an historical sermon in commemoration of the sixty-fourth anniversary of the dedication of the church edifice in Morris County, New Jersey, in which there worshiped the religious organization of which he was then the regularly installed pastor. The prepara- tion of this sermon, which was subsequently published in pamphlet form, necessitated careful research of township and county annals, which were found to be of rare interest; so far, particularly, as concerned their relation to the seven years struggle for national inde- pendence.
Later and more thorough research of the annals of the county seat of Morris, the story of which, as the author was impressed, had never been consecutively nor adequately related, fruited in the purpose to attempt, in the not distant future, the writing of a his- tory of Morristown which should aid at least in giving it the prominent place in the annals of our great coun- try to which it is rightfully entitled. In accordance,

PREFACE
therefore, with this purpose, the author has for several years past been gathering material for the contemplated work; meanwhile he has consulted every known and available source of information concerning his subject. Not alone from printed page and musty document, how- ever, but from not a few living repositories of local his- tory and tradition, has material been procured by the author for the present volume.
For the verification of the locale and present appear- ance of the various camping grounds of Washington's army in Morristown and vicinity, during the winters of 1777, and 1779-80, as described by several local his- torians, the author has, either alone or in company with rseidents of the county seat, more or less acquainted with these grounds, gone over them nearly a score of times during the year now nearing its close. Kodak and camera have been kept busy during the year past transferring to practically imperishable paper the accu- rate and indisputable representations of historic grounds and buildings and monuments and ruins, the sight of which in photographic form, cannot fail to quicken the heart action of even this distinctively commercial age and people.
As the author has again and again, in the deep quie- tude of the woods and hill-slopes tramped over the grounds once alive with the armed participants in the War of the Revolution, and looked, not always with dry eyes, upon the countless heaps of stones once com- posing the fire-places and chimneys of the rude log huts which sheltered their occupants in the awful winter of

PREFACE
1779-80, it has occurred to him that no finer thing in the way of an exhibition of patriotism could be done, than to gather these stones, bring them to the beautiful county seat of Morris, and there, in some central loca- tion, construct of them a suitable memorial building, the presence of which would furnish inspiration to com- ing generations, and aid in keeping alive the sentiment of our beloved Whittier, enunciated in the words :
"Freedom's soil hath only place For a free and fearless race !"
