Set against the backdrop of 1772 Morristown, the narrative explores the Ford family's construction of a grand mansion that would later serve as George Washington's headquarters during the American Revolution. As the site of the first National Historic Park in the U.S., the home became a hub for colonial supporters amid rising tensions. Jude Pfister chronicles the enduring legacy of this historic residence, highlighting its significance in both local and national history as it reflects the broader struggles for independence.
