Most other American towns were small in those days, ports were few. anil rail roads were unthought of. As cities have sprung up where there were only hamlets or patches of wilderness be fore, and as railroads have brought even the two oceans relatively rloser together. Yorktown. at a point where little commerce has been developed, and without rail connctlons. has be come In effect more and more remote, anil Its character as a sleepy villas has become moro hnd more emplia sized, Site of Famous Surrender a Tiny Village. '•The Yorktown of today Is a com inanity of leas than 250 Inhabitants with a few line old colonial homes and n number of less pretentious dwellings. The nenrest railroad lies eight miles to the south. In the town is a monument erected In 1881 on the ono hundredth anniversary of the sur render of the British. As n reminder of the early i.TO'tance of Yorktown there still exists the (lrat customs house to the United States. Near the village are remains of the forts and redoubts whose capture by the Revo lutionary Boldiers and their French al lies marked the real birth of the United States. The scene of Corn- walls’ surrender—which was by proxy through hla General O’Hara—Is be lieved to be to the open country Jusl south of the village. “Torktown to on a narrow peninsula lying between the wide estuaries of the James and York rivers, and *- where the latter meets' Chesapeake Bay. Cornwallis, after scourging Virginia, burning homes, killing and driving off stock, and capturing large numbers of slaveB, retired down the peninsula to Yorktown. Lafayette with a handful of American soldiers followed at a distance. It waa when this situation wa# pplnted out to Washington that he was persuaded to abandon hla plan to attack New York and instead .to take his own forces from West Pblnt and Rochambeau's dll vision from Providence, R.

It possesses a truly remarkable deep water harbor, and Cornwallis counted on the mainten ance of communication 1>y water with the heavy British forces to New York "Yorktown's harbor was put to good use during the World War and ao for the second time played nn important part to the country's matrial history In tho mouth of the York river oppo site the famous village the greater part of the Atlantic fleet at times rode at anchor. There, behind the defenses at the entrance to the Chesapeake and further protected by nets and patrols across the mouth of the York dreadnaughts and leaser vessels were safe from molestation by enemy sub marines.
