WASHINGTON—ROCHAMBEAU HISTORIC ROUTE Whereas, the Washington-Rochambeau Historic Route over which General Washington marched his combined French and American forces in August and September, 1781, has not been recognized by the Congress of the United States; and Whereas, that march, simultaneously with the arrival of the French fleet off the mouth of the Chesapeake, made the victory at Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781, possible; and Whereas, that march and tnat victory at Yorktown in effect, ended Britisn hopes of continuing colonial rule here, and changed the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, from a magnificent and brave statement of revolting colonials, to the accepted basic charter of a new nation, free, independent, and sovereign; and Whereas, Princeton and Brown Universities have jointly published two volumes which document the entire Washington-Rochambeau Historic Route so adequately by reproducing maps made in 1780, 1781, 1782, and 1783 that each mile of the routes through eight of the original thirteen States can be located on present-day maps; and Whereas, recognition of this Washington-Rochambeau Historic Route by the Congress may well be one of the more useful and enduring educational patriotic accomplishments to come from the bicentennial of the American War for Independence, 1776-1783: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Hov^e of Representatives {the Seimte coricurring), That the routes identified by the Princeton and Brown University volumes, "The American Ca"mpaigns of Rochambeau's Army, 1780, 1781, 1782, 1783", copyrighted m 1972 by Princeton University Press as the Washington-Rochambeau Route and used by the combined French and American forces of General Washington to accomplish the decisive victory that changed world history at Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781, should be recognized by the Federal, State, county, and local governments of this country as "The WashingtonRochambeau Historic Route".
