Foreword to Published Edition
Between 1783 and 1828, the formative years when the foundations of our Nation were laid, Americans dreamed bright dreams and faced harsh realities. Statesmen such as Washington, Hamilton, and Jefferson began to fashion the national political structure that the Constitution of 1787 created. Millions of pioneers struggled over the Appalachian barrier and moved the frontier to the Mississippi and beyond. As the Nation surmounted obstacle after obstacle—internal political strife, international crises, and war—it gained in strength and confidence. The newly emerging national spirit among the people began to give substance to the Founding Fathers' hopeful motto, E Pluribus Unum.
The founders and the frontiersmen were pivotal figures in United States history. They proclaimed the basic ideals of our heritage and initiated courses of national action so consequential to the Republic. We can profit immensely from knowing more about them and by sharing their experiences.
Books and pictures help us accumulate facts and ideas about the past, but visits to historic sites and buildings—the scenes of past events—provide us with a living sense of history. Books about George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, for example, seldom impart so vivid a picture of the men as visits to Mount Vernon or Monticello.
This volume describes many of the historic sites and buildings that are associated with and commemorate or illustrate our early nationhood. It is one of a series designed to make available the findings of the National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings, a nationwide program conducted by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior under authority of the Historic Sites Act of 1935. The Survey's purpose is to identify historic and prehistoric places of significance to the Nation. Such places are studied and evaluated by Service field historians and archeologists, screened by a Consulting Committee of outside scholars, and final selections recommended to the Secretary of the Interior by the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings, and Monuments. When approved by the Secretary, sites and buildings judged of national historical significance are eligible for designation as Registered National Historic Landmarks. Upon application, their owners are provided with a certificate and bronze plaque attesting to the distinction.
Credit for the preparation of this volume is shared widely by persons both in and out of the National Park Service. In particular, the work of the Service in the general field of historic preservation has benefited in estimably from the assistance provided by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, a cosponsor of the Survey.
It is my earnest hope that citizens will use the volumes in this series to seek out and visit sites of interest to them, and that they will also encourage individuals, private groups, and State and local governments to unite with the Federal Government in an unremitting campaign to preserve our historic treasures, an indispensable part of our national heritage.
