Note 1289 — Chapter VIII · (continued 2)

A view of the fort is noted in the Catal. of Paintings, Pa. Hist. Soc., 1872, no. 64. A diagram of Fort Necessity and its surroundings, from a survey made in 1816, is given in Lowdermilk’s Cumberland, p. 76. A plan of the attack is in Sparks’s Washington, i. 56. De Hass (Western Virginia, 63, 65) says that in 1851 the embankments of the fort could be traced; and that at one time a proposition had been made to erect a monument on the site.
