Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings on the Occasion of the Dedication of the Monument on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Paoli Massacre, in Chester County, September 20, 1877 On the Fourth of July, 1817, the Republican Artillerists of Chester County, at the instance of the late Dr. William Darlington, resolved to enclose in a durable manner, the graves of the brave men who perished in the massacre near the Paoli on the twentieth of September, 1777, and also to erect a suitable monument to their memory. The work was proceeded with, the graves enclosed with a substantial stone wall, and a handsome marble monument about nine feet in height, appropriately inscribed, was procured and erected in the centre of the enclosure. On the twentieth of September, 1817 - the fortieth anniversary of the massacre - the monument was dedicated with appropriate military honors. A full account of the proceedings on the occasion will be found in the appendix. The surrounding grounds, containing about twenty-three acres, were subsequently conveyed to the military organizations of Chester and Delaware counties, to be held in trust for a parade ground. They are situated in Willistown township, Chester county, about half-a-mile from the junction of the West Chester and Pennsylvania railroads, at Malvern station.
