About this ebook

In October 1781, American independence was achieved on the battlefields of Yorktown, Virginia--a glorious event that the Continental Congress determined was worthy of a monument. Moving at the speed of government, it took one hundred years to act on this resolution. In that time, Yorktown had to come to terms with its role as a site of preservation rather than a center of industry or commerce. The story of the development and preservation of The Monument to Alliance and Victory at Yorktown is a tangle of government, military, artists, historians and forces of nature. Local author Maria Hepner explores the story of this monument and the town that surrounds it.

Author

Maria G. Hepner

Maria Hepner is a raconteur whose ties to the history of York County, Virginia, reach back fourteen generations. The lifetimes of family oral history and the benefit of being a native of an area that is the genesis of colonial and Revolutionary War history aided her research into long-overlooked legends and stories. Miss Hepner spent more than fourteen years associated with Colonial National Historical Park, being employed in the Visitor Center Museum Shop and serving as a seasonal park guide and volunteer.
