I like the story!
I love history and looking at artifacts and stuff from the past. New Jersey is full of Revolutionary War history but the state is really lacking in marking historical places. The Monmouth Battleground is nothing but fields and some fences, many of which my ex had reconstructed some 15 years ago in an attempt to restore the battleground to it's original look, including the foliage. They came in and leveled nearly all the trees to replant indigenous plants only to make a huge mess out of it.
Molly Pitcher's grave marker is a tiny rock up against the roadway under an abandoned train trestle. I should go look that up and photograph it for you. It's in a really tight, high traffic area and it'll take some doing to get a picture. It's a very sad monument to someone who was vital to our history.
Jersey sucks.
