Historic New York

(Three miles northwest of Remsen, Oneida County)

Home and grave of Baron Frederick William von Steuben
(1730-1794)

Drillmaster of the American Revolution

          Arriving at Valley Forge in February, 1778, this German-born officer found "an army of skeletons . . . naked, starved, sick, discouraged," -and undisciplined. By day he drilled them for the victorious campaigns of that summer. By candlelight he wrote a MANUAL OF ARMS which is still the basis for the discipline of our armed forces.

          "His services were indispensable to the achievement of American independence."
