Morristown trip

There are over various places in the world that history occurs. Anywhere we stand on or live on, history has occurred. New Jersey has a key role during the American Revolution. Of course we all heard of George Washington's crossing the Delaware River to Trenton and the Battle of Princeton that rallied Patriot spirit. On friday, I went to Morristown , New Jersey where has a part in the American Revolution. It was encampment site where Washington and his army spent a crucial and brutal winter of 1779-1780. While in Morristown, my cousin and I hiked in this woods called Jockey Hollow, where the main encampment is and the ecosystem was beautiful. We passed remaining huts and open ground where the Continental army starved, slept, drilled and fought for their lives to retain their spirits. Walking all over the area was hard to imagine how Washington would rally his men and prepare for the most important event in American history a year later, Yorktown. I cannot wait to go back to Morristown and tour other historic sites.
