Located in Morristown, New Jersey, the Ford Mansion was used as George Washington's headquarters during December 1789 to June of 1790 to Map out Military Strategy in the Northern and Southern Theaters with the French. While this was happening, 10,000 of Washington's troops were gathering in Jockey Hollow to build huts and shelters. Dogged by hunger and biting cold, the soldiers spent most of their free time huddled around the fireplace. This Battle turned out to be one for the Environment.
I think because a lot of events transpired between NYC and Phila, New Jersey was right in the thick of things, no?
