Czerwiec 25, 2016 Wycieczka do West Point - Nowy Jork
West Point is a United States federal military reservation established by Thomas Jefferson in 1802. It comprises about 16,000 acres including the campus of the United States Military Academy. West Point, (then Fort Clinton) was a fortified site during the Revolutionary War. Originally picked because of the abnormal S-curve in the Hudson at this point, it was founded by military engineer, Polish Colonel Tadeusz Kościuszko. It was manned by a small garrison of Continental soldiers through the entirety of the war. A great iron chain was laid across the Hudson at this point in order to impede British Navy vessels, but it was never tested by the British. The site comprised multiple redoubts, including Fort Putnam, which is still preserved in a Revolutionary-period design.
