Our Independence
Won 175 Years Ago
By H. FRANK ESHLEMAN
We are informed by Metropoli- |
tan and some local newspapers '
that elaborate observance and cel-
ebrmtion of the 175th anniversary
of the adoption of the Declaration
of our Independence, will be stag-
ed during the week of July 4th
this year. Therefore, as my humble
contribution toward refreshing our
historical knowledge of the stages
through which our forefathers
struggled to achieve that glorious
project, I purpose furnishing to the
Local Press, the weekly progress
our revered Revolutionary Heroes
made to win the Great Achieve-
ment
First, let us go into a brief re-
view of the initial stages of effort
expended and achievemenis at-
tained ky our Revolutionary Fore-
fathers in the Continental Cong-
ress down to the said date 175
years ago. The following is a re-
sume of the struggle:
The delegates of the Continental
Congress gathered into Philadel-
phia during August 1774; and Sept.
5. John Adams stated: At 10 o'clock
the Delegates all walked from
City Tavern to Carpenter's Hall,
where they took a view of the
Chsmber and Room. All pronounc-
ed it a good place for their busi-
ness.” He said: “They organized
