Description:Excerpt from Historical Papers and Addresses of the Lancaster County Historical Society, Vol. 19 It is but natural when speaking of events connected with Revolutionary times in Lancaster county that our thoughts go first to the soldiers who went forth to fight for our country's liberty. They went to scenes of activity, and hardships as well, but the cause of their going brought to the little borough of Lancaster an individual activity greater than had ever been known. Therefore, some facts concerning the general conditions occasioned by the war will show that the people of Lancaster, borough and county, who remained at home deserve consideration as well. They were given much work to do, and undoubtedly did it with credit. Gunsmiths, who had been plying their trade in leisurely fashion, the production of their labors intended mostly to preserve life against Indian hostilities, were now hard pressed for weapons, whose use had another meaning. Given the men and arms to fight the big cause of a country's freedom, necessity compelled the further requirements of munition, food, clothing, horses and wagons. Why was it that when orders were issued for these needs Lancaster county was, in most every case, required to furnish the largest portion? Was it because of its fertility or its generosity, or just its natural ability to do better than the best, which somebody else could do?
