life of the Washingtons, both in battles and in society.

Washingtons vanquish the Hessians on a battle-field in the empty lot
back of the Davis property.

After the school-house battle the Washingtons discover a band of gypsies
camping near the back road to their homes and incidentally they secure

farmer" of the Parkes.
