Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Centennial Celebration and Washington Monument at Newburgh, N. Y: Report of the Joint Select Committee Whereas it was near this place, in the building known as "The Temple," that Washington, by his appeal to the patriotism of the Army, saved the country from military despotism; and Whereas it is intended to purchase the grounds upon which the Temple stood, together with so much of the surrounding land as may be deemed necessary, and cause to be erected thereon a building of frame or logs in the original form or style of the said Temple as near as may be; and Whereas it is further intended to purchase certain other adjacent grounds, wherein rest the remains of the Revolutionary veterans who died during the encampment of the Array near Newburgh, and cause the same to be properly inclosed, to the end that they may be perpetually kept and maintained as a burial-ground: Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That a joint select committee be created, to consist of five Senators, to be appointed by the presiding officer of the Senate, and eight Representatives, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whose duty it shall be to make, independently of itself or in connection with the trustees of Washington´s Headquarters and the citizens committee, all necessary arrangements for a befitting celebration of the centennial ceremonies commemorative of Washington´s refusal to accept a crown, the proclamation of peace, the disbandment of the Army, and other notable Revolutionary events, to be held at Washington´s Headquarters, in the city of Newburgh and State of New York, in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-three. Sec. 2. That the Secretary of War be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to expend, out of the moneys hereinafter appropriated, a sum not to exceed ten thousand dollars in the erection of a suitable monument or column on the grounds belonging to the State of New York, and known as Washington´s Headquarters, with such inscriptions and emblems as may properly commemorate the historical events which occurred at Newburgh and vicinity during the war of the Revolution.
