An excerpt from George Washington’s Farewell Ad dress, “The Unity of govern ment which constitutes you one people - is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence-”, and an article written by Lt.

The American Heritage Chairman, Mrs. Loma Red man, continued the emphasis of February as American History Month in presenting a program based on her first-hand knowledge of the Bergenfield Area of New Jersey, the Buffer State, and often referred to as the cradle of American Revolu tionary War activity. The movements of Washington’s courageous though scantily equipped army centers in this area. A period of history recalled for its human sacrifices and tragic occur rences documenting our country’s heroes in her struggle for independence and the freedom we enjoy today. Mrs. Redman remind ed her listeners of the contributing factor the Algonquin and Iroquois Indians made in the very survival of the early colon ists.
