The battle to save a Princeton battlefield from bulldozers

So you think the American Revolution ended in 1783? You’ll change your mind if you visit the Princeton battlefield and perchance meet Jerry Hurwitz or one of his dedicated assistants, who are still fighting the vastly wealthy Institute for Advanced Studies to prevent this smug collection of doubledomes from building faculty housing on a crucial part of the battlefield, which they claim to own.  Recently, the PBS (Princeton Battlefield Society) discovered bulldozers at work on this section of the battlefield, which includes the site on which George Washington led a charge that swept the defending British into humiliating retreat. This is one of the great moments in American history. But do the intellectual snobs at the Institute care about that large fact? Of course not. The PBS  sent their attorneys charging to the local Superior Court,  which soon issued a Temporary Restraining  Order  that forced the bulldozers to cease and desist while the case is still being argued before several judges and commissions.  The Civil War Trust has joined the struggle on the  PBS ‘s side. They have already helped preserve 40,000 acres of battlefields from the Civil War  and are now trying to do the same thing for the Revolution and War of 1812. They have donated $25,000 to the fight and have issued a vigorous statement backing the PBS.  If you want to help, send a check to  Princeton Battlefield Society, PO Box 7645, Princeton, NJ 08543
